Hey, Hey Take Me Away

What's all this spunk on the duckboards?

Come on Lawrence... come on Lawrence...

Let's go out and have a prayer meeting

Take a chance with our new shotgun

Hey! Come on Lawrence!

It's time we escaped again, my son!

Oi!

Come on!

Hey, hey, take me away

I hate waking up in this place

There's nutters in here who whistle and cheer

When they're watching a one-legged race

And a one-legged prefect gets me in bed

Makes me play with his dick

One legged horn and he's shouting the odds

Driving me bloody well sick

When I get better, when I get strong

Will I be alright in the head?

They're making me well, if they're caring for me

Why do they boot me and punch me?

Why do they bash me and crunch me?

Some of the counterpanes are pink and other ones are, blue

Hey, hey, take me away

From the ones that go mad every night

They're crazy and dangerous one-legged sods

Who have to sit down when they bite

One-legged Peter who knows bloody well

He's got worse ever since he came in

This other poor cunt, he was born back-to-front

And he's always got stuff on his chin

When I get better, when I get strong

Will I be alright in the head?

Give me a sweet and accost me

I do hope that God hasn't lost me

The lino is brown and the walls have been scraped with blood where someone has hanged themselves

(I hope so!)

Get it?

Hey, hey, take me away

I'm the first to put last in the past

Take the handcuffs away and please do what I say

'Cos I hate the untouchable cast

I want to be normal in body and soul

And normal in thought, word and deed

And everyone here will whistle and cheer

And be happy to see me succeed

Cheerful Charlie Ashforth

Now that I'm better, now that I'm strong

Will I be alright in the head?

Grey worry lines in all my designs

And life isn't rosy, it's red

As to why I wrote this song

I ain't done nothing wrong, but I'm unhappy

Question: Do you blame your life on life

And say it all began before the nappy?

Hey, hey, take me away, hey, hey, take me away

Hey, hey, take me away, hey, hey, take me away

Hey, hey, take me away, hey, hey, take me away
