Ian Dury And The Blockheads Lyrics of the Hey, Hey, Take Me Away track

(spoken)

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!



aaaaagh

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

And One legged orderly is 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'll do what the fellas have lost me

I know it's brown

And the walls have been scraped

With blood where someone hanged themself

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, work and in deed

And everyone here will whist
