The Price of Gluttony - Original Song

The Price of Gluttony - Original Song

I used to be able to eat in excess
But now my body protests
Even a small glass of wine
Ends up colouring over the line

and who is that podgy git
wearing my clothes, sat where I sit
and where has my metabolism gone
it really didn’t last that long

I don’t fit in my jeans anymore
Too many beers have been poured
My face has lost it’s shape
Because of how my mouth would gape

The price of much gluttony
I’m paying the physical fee
After all gluttony’s a sin
The pigs are my next of kin

I never thought I would
Let myself go
Why didn’t anybody
let me know

I never used to
Eat every hour
I used to live on
Dust and flour

The warning signs were there
My food was not to share
Takeaway drivers knew my name
My shadow wasn't the same

It’s easy to see it now
When look and feel like a cow
The scale taunts me
Hindsight haunts me

I never thought I would
Let myself go
Why didn’t anybody
let me know

I never used to
Eat every hour
I used to live on
Dust and flour
