It was half my life ago,
I was drinking out in the snow,
And the next day i was weak as a kitty,
Glandular fever got the best of me.

I had my first real girlfriend,
It felt so nice to be in love again,
Maybe that's why i got the kissing disease?
Glandular fever got the best of me.

Sleeping cos there's nothing else to do,
At least i didn't have to go to school, ah no
Yeah, i was listening to pinkerton,
Mind-sweeping round all the pubs,
It was a whole new way of life to me,
Then glandular fever got the best of me.

It was half my life ago, i'd been drinking out in the snow,
And now its left me with the curse of apathy.
Glandular fever got the best of me.
