If I Go Mad
SONG COMPOSERS, LYRICS AND BACKGROUND
LYRICS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, lucky man
Where have you been?
With hair on and
What have you seen?
‘Cause I know
We all need the money
And I know
We all miss the show
A little plastic hat
A little plastic nose
Have a look
There’s a plastic house
And plastic clothes
Sure I know
We all need the readies
And I know
We all love the show
But just give me the future
With the girl I know
If I go mad
Without you
If I go mad (I go mad)
Without you
Here’s to everybody to all of my friends
Here’s to all the summers we wish would never end
Here’s to all the diggies with no fish
All the people that I really miss
Here’s to all the summers with no sun
Here’s to all the things that we should’ve never done
Here’s to all the sorrow and the pain
All the passengers on this train
Oh, there, a crooked man
With a crooked smile (look at it) here
Take a walk along the plank
Walk the crooked mile
Sure, yes I know
We all need the money
And I know
That we all love the show
Oh, but give me the future
With the girl I know
If I go mad (if I go mad)
Without you (without you)
If I go mad (if I go mad)
Without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I go mad (if I go mad)
Without you (without you)
If I go mad (if I go mad)
Without you (without you)
Mad, will I go mad without you?
Probably
Mad, will I go mad without you? (Will I go mad?)

BACKGROUND
Suggs wrote “If I Go Mad” primarily as a love song dedicated to his wife. However, it also reflects his experience of lockdown madness. The isolation and not being able to see anyone for a year led him to feel like he was going slightly mad. As a performer, he felt like he was dwindling to almost nothing without an audience.
