An emotional song, with strong vocals, about what it's like to fall in love with someone who has been demonised by a traditional and anxious community.

### It's Not that Bad
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
Death is not so bad
But dying can be murder
Sometimes it's real easy
Your old body can't go further

In the middle of the day
Or sometime in the night
You feel a little dizzy
After that, you'll be alright

[pause]

What you don't want to do
Is let them try to save you
Those guys they are insane
But it's you that feels the pain

They will do all that they can
They have a lot of plans
When there is no nerve reaction
They will all spring into action

They will try to cut you open
Or feed you lots of poison
Put a hose deep in your throat
Then try some other options

[instrumental]

[verse]
When they get bored with you
There's more victims by the score
They will strap you to a bed
And say they saved one more

So take control of your own fate
There no reason you must wait

But don't you wait too long
Do it while you're strong
If you let time slip on by
You may lose the choice to die

There's always a way out
No need to scream and shout

[pause]

Sister morphine to the rescue
And there's a man down at the corner
He can get you a new wife
And she can save your life

Heroin in overdose 
Might give you some repose
Fentanill will do it quicker
Not much difference between those

Don't try the other stuff
It will only make you sicker

Fifty ways there might well be
You only need to count to three

[instrumental]

[verse]
So follow my advise
You need to sign a letter
Tell'em once and tell'em twice
You don't want to get no better

Just tell'em all the truth
When it's time for you to go
Find something you can use
When the time comes you will know

[pause]

So follow my advise
You need to sign a letter
Tell'em once and tell'em twice
You don't want to get no better

Tell'em the plain truth
When it's time for you to go
Find something you can use
When the time comes you will know
