Melanocortin Blues

Found this little song, made me laugh. The writer is unknown to me but they obviously understand Clinuvel well.



I invested my money in a dream, you see,
A company called Clinuvel, promising prosperity.
CEO spoke of Mallorca, a clinic by the sea,
Said they'd hire 30 specialists, but it wasn’t meant to be.

[Chorus]Got theMelanocortin Blues, oh, can’t you see?
Waiting for a breakthrough that’s eluding me.
He said it all pays off in the end, but when is the end?
Twenty years of waiting, my patience is wearing thin.

[Verse 2]There was a countdown clock, quick results were coming.
But a decade’s come and gone, and they just keep drumming
Michelin dinners, fancy soirees, no interest to be found,
Free shares to a maestro, but no one’s heard a sound.

[Chorus]Got the Melanocortin Blues, oh, can’t you see?
Waiting for a breakthrough that’s eluding me.
He said it all pays off in the end, but when is the end?
Twenty years of waiting, my patience is wearing thin.[

Bridge]A social media campaign with faces unknown,
Lady Gaga hosted a dinner, but the stock still hasn’t grown.
We dream of lotions, a safe tan for you and me,
If they ever come to market, oh, how rich we’ll be.

[Verse 3]Yet the share price keeps on tanking, the promise still afar,
While investors sit here waiting, wishing on a star.
With every passing year, frustration starts to show,Clinuvel, oh Clinuvel, when will our profits grow?

[Chorus]Got the Melanocortin Blues, oh, can’t you see?
Waiting for a breakthrough that’s eluding me.
He said it all pays off in the end, but when is the end?
Twenty years of waiting, my patience is wearing thin.

[Outro]We’re all still here, hoping for the day,
When Clinuvel delivers, and our worries go away.
Till then we sing this song, of waiting and of news,
Caught up in the rhythm of these Melanocortin Blues.
