Lyrics Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

Hamburger Lady

By far, worst is the hamburger lady

We must heal them for the qualified technicians,

Worse

Alternating nights, unrelievedly

She's lying there.

Hamburger Lady

Hamburger Lady

She's dying

She is burned from the waist up

On her arm

Her ear is burned off,

her nose is burned off,

her eyelashes are burned,

her fingers are burned

She can't hold anything up

and with medical advances,

there's no end in sight

for the hamburger lady

When somebody tells you there’s a level of pain

beyond the human mind

The lady on the potty-chair

Leave her,

She's not burned from the waist down

That’s what keeps her alive

The tubes

and the nightmares

Hamburger Lady

Hamburger Lady

He was okay when he went to go change the tubes

Tubes in her legs,

and tubes in her arms

and he managed okay

Then it came out and saw one of the burn nurses

at the desk, eating a can of chilli-mac

and he flashed on the carpet,

and he flashed on the floor

The hamburger lady,

She came to rest

They’re squeamish

can’t work with her and keep their meal down

the “qualified technicians”

Hamburger Lady

Hamburger Lady
