Hospital - Tellison

I am a hospital with many wards\nI’m saving lives and fixing peoples\nHearts but mine’s not in it,\nHearts but mine’s not in it.\nEmergencies and Accidents\nAnd ambulances are my oxygen,\nAnd people are my blood\nAnd corridors my veins and every day\nIs just the same,\nParamedics and pain,\nI won’t complain\nIt could be worse,\nThe old folks homes are cursed.\nYou’ve got a date with me,\nCould be tonight it could be years,\nYou’ve got a date with me,\nCould be tonight it could be years.\nAnd every second people die\nAnd many of them are inside\nAnd most will be here soon,\nMost will be here soon.\nAnd seriously I hate my work\nBut someone’s got to do it though\nThe poetry is lost on me,\nYou’re born, you live, you die, that’s all that I\nCan see from here,\nBeen counting down the years,\nThe wrecking ball is far off yet\nAnd till it comes I’m something of a prophet.\nYou’ve got a date with me,\nCould be tonight it could be years,\nYou’ve got a date with me,\nCould be tonight it could be years.\nIt could be years. It could be tonight.
