Mid-Life Crisis Songs #138: Something's Gone Wrong Again


Do you ever feel like it's just one thing after another?

A light bulb goes out so you have to replace it, then the hoover needs charging, then the sound on your computer won't work so you have to reboot it, then the cat pukes up a furball on the bedroom carpet, then the wind blows your bin over, then...

Life just seems like an endless stream of things going wrong.

At least the Buzzcocks understand...

Tried to find my sock
No good, it's lost
Something's gone wrong again
Need a shave
Cut myself, need a new blade
Something's gone wrong again

Tried to fry an egg
Broke the yolk, no joke
Something's gone wrong again
Look at my watch, just to tell the time but the hand's come off mine
Something's gone wrong again

Nothing ever happens to people like us
'Cept we miss the bus, something goes wrong again

  1. In answer to your question, "Do you ever feel like...", I'll give my own question: "Do you ever feel like it's not just one thing after another?" It feels impossible to get ahead in any aspect of life, because it's always one thing after another.

  3. Yes, a familiar feeling... Great song choice too.

  4. In years gone by, I used to be able to shrug things off when one misfortune seemed to follow on the back of another.

    These days - and maybe it's all down to be less energetic, slower of thought and less physically capable - I find myself crumbling when things stack up on top of one another.

    As C says, great song choice.
