lyrics

Irritated, irksome, tetchy,
What gives you the right
To be so irritated, irksome, tetchy,
Ev’ry day and ev’ry night?
You know I’ve tried to sympathise,
Tried to understand,
To make you laugh,
To hold your hand
But you’re irritated, irksome, tetchy and
Just what gives you the right?

Busy telling ev’rybody what they ought to do –
It’s your way.
Chuntering on – oh, I’ve done things wrong again –
Well, okay.
You don’t like me,
I don’t like you.
You only give when it suits you to.
Ego be hanged,
Mean-spirit games take two,
And I’m through.

Irritated, irksome, tetchy,
What gives you the right
To be so irritated, irksome, tetchy,
Ev’ry day and ev’ry night?
You know I’ve tried to sympathise,
Tried to understand,
To make you laugh,
To hold your hand
But you’re irritated, irksome, tetchy and
Just what gives you the right?

You want the world and its dog
To humour you ev’ry day.
Skulking around in a sulk –
It’s how you get your own way.
I’ve talked before
To your locked door,
Spent all my time averting outright war,
What a baby you are –
Indulgent, that’s for sure,
And what’s more…

You’re irritated, irksome, tetchy,
What gives you the right
To be so irritated, irksome, tetchy,
Ev’ry day and ev’ry night?
You know I’ve tried to sympathise,
Tried to understand,
To make you laugh,
To hold your hand
But you’re irritated, irksome, tetchy and
Just what gives you the right?

Barbara Delarbre Wales, UK

I am from the UK and (depending on mood) I'm a drawing, an animation or a puppet! I kid you not. I am the alter-ego of a DIY Indie Instrumental girl–do the whole bang shoot of writing, playing and production. So I've only got myself to blame! You might catch me on bright, moonlit nights, dancing over the mountains twirling my pink umbrella! ... more
