Album: Lucy
Quarter to ten at the A&E
Where nobody thought they would need to be
Saturday night in the old country
And we come to you on our knees
Take us in, will you, will you
With the unlucky, the drunken too?
Take us in, will you, will you?
A blow to the head and a break to the foot
And a party of revelers turned mean and
A woman is red-eyed and reading a book
With a child asleep at her feet
Have you been here waiting long
With the others whose evening's gone wrong?
Have you been here waiting long?
Quarter to three and the NHS
Has given our worries a bed to rest
Fluorescent lights and a handful of tests
Quick smile from the nurse on her way
Smile again, can you, can you
After all of the things you've been through?
Smile again, can you, can you?
Phone call breaks through
Still night, I'm sorry to wake you
We're on floor two
Fulham Palace Avenue
Quarter to eight, I walk out on the street
And Hammersmith Station's alive with
Sunday day shoppers who've risen from sleep
Just sure that today would arrive
Take good care, my friend, my friend
If there's ever a hand I can lend
Take good care, my friend, my friend
Quarter to ten at the A&E
Where nobody thought they would need to be
Saturday night in the old country
And we come to you on our knees
