lyrics

I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am

When powering up my laptop
I notice something sinister
An email purporting to be from the national Westminster
Bank who want me to reveal my sort code and expiry
Date upon my credit card
Do they really think that I would be
Daft enough to let them know
Out of there my dosh would go
Causing mucho hassle and hysteria
When I know it’s just some a**hole from Nigeria

I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am
I’m drowning underneath I am
A sea of spam I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am of spam I am I am

While wondering can I sue them
Take them through the courts
I get another email from someone called Gladys Schwartz
She’s selling pills and potions
Some to give a slimmer figure
How to live a lifelong dream and cream to make my willy big

I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am
There must be some way I could jam the flow of Spam so they would scram
To hell I damn them and their Spam
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am

My firewall is failing me
People keep assailing me
Dodgy deals and fake degrees
Business opportunities
No sooner do I press delete than something quite explicit
Comes whizzing through my inbox
Completely unsolicited
And yet another online scam
Takes up mega gigs of RAM
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am

I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am I am
I’m fed up to the back teeth I am with Spam I am I am

And now there’s something going wrong
I find I’m trapped inside this song
Cannot find the exit sign
Entangled in these chords of mine
F sharp F sharp then a B
Minor then it’s down to E
Round and round and round and round
It makes a quite hypnotic sound

An executive decision has been made
The only way out is a fade
A fade, a fade, a fade, a fade
A fade, a fade, a…
