Lyrics for The Institute Of Mental Health Burning by Hammill Peter:
| | | Artist: | Hammill Peter |
| | Album: | Nadir's Big Chance | | Track: | The Institute Of Mental Health Burning | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 92 | | | | Lyrics: | It was the first day of July;
no wind breathed in the sky
when a pin-striped suit
saw
that the Institute of Mental Health was burning.
He stood upon the corner
where the
sun was warmer...
looking across the street,
he moved the shackles on his feet
as the
Institute was burning.
Flames were roaring, singing like a thunderstorm;
smoke was
pouring straight up to the sky;
windows smashing, Gothic doors and lintels fall;
timbers
crashing and we both know why.
Nobody else came by to stare;
you see, they didn't
really care.
Can't call the fire brigade -
none of them had been paid
and so the
Institute was burning.
Throughout the city, people say it isn't pretty,
everyone
agrees, and everyone feels glad;
doctored brains celebrate and everyone waves their
chains...
It's a pity they're all mad.
The Institute of Mental
Health
spontaneously killed itself.
Ashes to ashes
and dust to dust:
my chains
began to rust
as the Institute was burning, burning, burning.
