BWARRU lyrics : "Writing my PhD"


It's Friday night and I'm staring at the screen,
I just want to get back out of here and get back on the scene,

But there's guilt riding through my every vein,
I'm trying to get the doctor title before my god damn name.


Saturday dawns and I'm wide awake at 6,
I gotta get back to the desk and refine my statistics,
I need to back up my many claims so the referees will see,

That what I found is really real and not at all make believe.

Chorus:

Cos I was writing my PhD,
It's a great big novel no ones ever going to read,
I was writing my PhD,

Why'd the hell I do a high degree?
Cos I was writing my PhD,
Me and Bombay Sapphire we got quite cosy,

I was writing my PhD and I became a gold member with Dan Murphy.

Days go by and I forget to eat and wash,

I've been having some major problems with my Tukey's post-hoc,
And the truth is I'm over it and I think I've lost the plot,
And I just want to publish this and get a real job.


No one who hasn't been here before can really understand,
They perceive it as an $$#ignment that's taken far too long,

And they like to ask 'have you nearly finished it?',
It makes me want to vomit and go curl up in a ditch.


(Chorus)

Then late one Wednesday night I think eureka hits,

I type the words down on the page and reference like a (*##$,
I leave the office on a high, gin chasing at my tail,
Head on home to cheers myself for finally getting it nailed.


(Instrumental)


Unfortunately there is some truth to drinking whilst you write,
It never reads just quite as well as it did the other night,
So I sit back down at the desk, deflation round the bend,

And pour myself another gin, its become my bestest friend.

(Chorus)

Cos I was writing my PhD,
And I wrote this song when I went crazy,
Cos I was writing my PhD, why'd the hell I do a high degree?

Cos I was writing my PhD,
And I wrote this song when I went crazy,
Who knows if sanity will ever become me?
