about

You never recover...you never get better...

lyrics

Want some peace and quiet and a pretty place to die?
See those weird lions in a psychedelic sky

The radio and the TV play at maximum volume simultaneously
Spend all day in a giant pram listening to Dexy’s Spandau & Wham

And the ward manager says hello you remember her of course you do
She’s been here for twenty years she’s an end of life specialist

On Hospital wing
You never recover
Hospital wing
You never get better

Mural mural on the wall painted by art students
Disney characters snow white
They’re just trying to cheer the place up all right?

You might as well be a ghost for all they see of see of you
Shift ends switch off the light think of your brother how he put up a fight he ended his life here
Now it’s your turn to face the fear

Bib on feeding time here comes the fat NA with the toxic skin
You open your mouth she shovels it in
You choke on your breath and spit out the food

On Hospital wing
Hospital wing

The side room empties as the relatives leave
The kid in the wheelchair has been deceived
A couple of weeks left before he checks out
And that’s more or less what the songs about

On hospital wing
You never recover
Hospital wing
You never get better
Hospital wing
On Hospital wing
