Asylum |
Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin' |
I can’t keep tabs on mine — it’s really quite a joke |
I see him down the road, I ask if he’d be willing |
To lend me 15p — I’m dying for a smoke |
Don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum |
I’m just as sane as anyone |
It’s just a game I play for fun — for fun |
I told 'em — look! |
— I said I’m not the way you’re thinkin' |
Just when I’m down I’ll be the clown, I’ll play the fool |
Please don’t arrange to have me sent to no asylum |
I’m just as sane as anyone |
It’s just a game I play for fun — for fun |
Is it really? |
Will he take a sailboat ride? |
Well, he is very likely to |
Will he feel good inside? |
Well, he ain’t very likely to |
Will he tell you he’s alive? |
Yeah, he is always trying to |
Yeah but nothin' |
No no nothin' does he say |
In the morning when the days begun |
— «Hello, Good morning, how are you?» |
And in the evening or the noonday sun |
— «Oh, what a lovely afternoon!» |
Well I’ve been living next to you |
Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here |
Yeah, when they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage |
Oh, in my cage |
I mock 'em all, they’re feelin' small, they got no answer |
Yeah, they’re playin' dumb but I’m just laughing as they rage |
Don’t arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum |
Well it’s only a game I’m playin' for fun |
Yeah I’ve been tryin' to fool everyone |
Oh, but they still taunt me |
Oh, is it really? |
No, that’s too heavy |
Will he take a sailboat ride? |
Well, he is very likely to |
Will he feel good inside? |
He ain’t ever likely to |
Will he tell you he’s alive? |
Well, he is always trying to |
But nothin' |
No no nothin' does he ever say |
In the morning when the day’s begun |
— «Do you think it looks like rain?» |
And in the evening or the noonday sun |
— «You know I nearly missed my train» |
Well I’ve been living next to you my friend |
But what kind of friend are you? |
Is it the beginning or the sorry end? |
Will I ever see it through? |
Now I’ve never been insane |
Oh what’s the game? |
I believe I’m dying… |
He’s mad, mad, mad… |
Not quite right |
(Not quite right) |
Oh… |
