I keep thinking about this song and I feel that I need to share it with you.
They’re Coming To Take Me Away – Napoleon X1V
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And I begged you not to leave
Because I’d go berserk
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They are coming to take me away ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I am utterly mad
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well just you wait
They’ll find you yet and when they do
They’ll put you in the A.S.P.C.A
You mangy mutt
And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They are coming to take me away ha-haaa, ho-ho hee- hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away ha -haaa!

I think that this was originally written in response to losing a loved one.
For me – it is for me losing me.
