lyrics

Gypsy Hospital Death March

Did I cry?
To be honest, I don’t remember too much
About that kick in the guts
When they told me how and when I’ll die
I wondered what they could mean
It must have been the morphine that they’d put me on

I panicked, my erratic little heartbeat
Was attacking what was left of my shredded nerves
But I’m fine goddamit, I’ve not reached 35 yet
And when I do I’ll let you know that I am still not good to go
And I’m not good to go
But the pain is getting critical
The pain is fucking criminal
I don’t want to die

Did I pray,
When they told I had less than 6 months to go?
And did I try to take their advice and live a healthy life
Stop smoking and drinking?
Yes, like I’ll exercise

The medical profession
Has a lack of good intentions
When it comes to having a giggle playing piggy in the middle
Of the quacks and the packs of hypochondriacs
If this is not a joke
Then I’d like my National Insurance payments back please
The pain is getting critical
The pain is fucking criminal
I don’t want to die

Did I cry,
When they told me I had less than 6 days to go?
Did I try to take their advice and live a healthy life? (Fuck, no!)
So I bought myself some hookers, bought some crack cocaine
And took ‘em both on my deathbed right in front of my dear ol’ ma and pa
Well, they figured since I’m dying
“There’s no sense in denying our poor boy his last wishes
He’s never gonna enjoy it anyhow”
The pain is getting critical
The pain is fucking criminal
I don’t want to die
