When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you- oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened- happened
It finally happened- ooh woh
It finally happened- I'm slightly mad- oh dear
Ha ha ha ha ha

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree- oh dear
I'm going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad
(I'm going slightly mad)
It finally happened- happened
It finally happened- uh huh
It finally happened- I'm slightly mad - oh dear

Uh uh ah ah, uh uh ah ah

I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear, how about you?
I'm going slightly mad, I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened- oh yes
It finally happened- I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad

And there you have it

I'm Going Slightly Mad trateaza tematica iubirii, ca multe alte piese, dar, spre deosebire de celelalte balade de dragoste, aceasta melodie reflecta trairile unui indragostit, aflat intr-o pasa nu prea buna ("you're simply not in the pink, my dear, to be honest, you haven't got a clue"). Cand esti indragostit, totul din jurul tau se schimba ("the outside temperature rises", "a thousand and one yellow daffodils begin to dance in front of you"). Desi nu iti dai seama de mesajul transmis de aceste schimbari ("are they trying to tell you something?"), intelesul lor iti este clar ("the meaning is oh so clear"). Imposibilitatea de a iubi te duce incet, incet, la nebunie ("I'm going slightly mad"), determinandu-te sa faci lucruri absurde ("I think I'm a banana tree", "I'm knitting with only one needle", "I'm driving only three wheels"). Personajul nostru "innebuneste" pe o melodie lirica, originala si misterioasa. Nebunia din dragoste nu este, insa, o nebunie in adevaratul sens al cuvantului, ci doar o... picatura din aceasta ("just very slightly mad")!
