Fly In The Ointment Lyrics - Wreckorder - Fran Healy

I was on my wall 

Minding my own business 

When a man walked up to me 

And he say "Hey don't fall", 

"And anyways 

What's a nice guy like you doing sitting on a wall?" 

And I say 

"I don't like flies in my ointment 

And that's what you are 

You'll make me late for my appointment 

Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar" 

Well I was down on the ground 

Minding my own business when a snail slid up to me 

And he said "Hey, slow down," 

"And anyways, you ain't got no business rushing around" 

And I said 

"Stop acting like a fly in my ointment 

Cause that's what you are 

You'll make me late for my appointment 

Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar" 

I was high in the sky 

Minding my ouwn business when a jumbo jet flew by 

And all the people inside 

Staring out the window giving me the evil eye 

And I said 

"I feel like a fly in the ointment 

And I don't know why 

Please help me I'm late for my appointment 

Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar 

He's waiting in the bar 

He's waiting in the bar" 

I was on my wall 

Minding my own business 

When a man walked up to me
