I was happy watching my fave TV show
but heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was full of hope when the 5th Series began
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

As a Xenite
why do I give valuable time
to TPTB who don't care what I think

Xena & Gabby entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

Jox died saving Gabs life but she never said a word of thanks
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

As a Xenite
why do I give valuable time
to TPTB who don't care what I think

When they heard what I thought of the Series End
Caligula would have blushed

"It's only a programme on the telly" they said
ignoring the tears I shed

In my life
why do I smile
at TPTB who I'd much rather kick in the eye

Xena & Eve are killing off all the Greek Gods
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

"It's only a programme on the telly" she said
ignoring the tears I shed

As a Xenite
why do I give valuable time
to TPTB who don't give a stuff what anyone thinks
