about

A love story set in a hospital disco ends in tragedy...

lyrics

You and me me and you lots and lots of jobs to do
Knitting a shawl making a bird house weaving a basket then we’re back in the big house
Making a pot painting a fence helping the porters doing some errands
Laundry away ironing shirts we don’t get paid but we know what we’re worth

And every Wednesday night at the Wednesday club
Everything feels right it’s where we fell in love
We’d dance and sing along then we’d all applaud as
Steve the DJ says same time next week you all

Walk back to the ward holding hands
Like a regular couple making plans
Feet up / watching TV it’s the Sale of the Century
Patients in need help and support
That’s what we do its what we’re here for
Mavis in the mirror talks to her self
Jeremy thinks he’s somebody else

And every Wednesday night at the Wednesday club
We held each other tight we were so in love
Brown girl in the ring and the birdie song
We loved to dance and sing but now that time has been and gone


Going on trips out and about answering phones when the staff sneak out
Dinner together in the canteen we heard a rumor we don’t believe t
The place is closing and they’re moving us on sending us back to the places we’re from
If they do that I wont see you again my head will explode and my heart will be broken

And every Wednesday night at the Wednesday club
Everything feels right that’s where we fell in love
We dance and sing along and then we all applaud as
Steve the DJ says same time next week you all

I left the hospital in 84 I was one of the first out of the door They gave me a room in a house with five other people who’d scream and shout
And I thought of you every day but you were just too far away I still miss the old place but once I was gone all they ever said was time to move on /

And every Wednesday night at the Wednesday club
We held each other tight we were so in love
Brown girl in the ring and the birdie song
We loved to dance and sing but now that time has been and gone

Been and gone
