Hospital Lane Lyrics

The pitter-patter of the raindrops

Plays a song on my naked back

I can't tell if she's tearing up or

The acid rain is burning her eyes

I've got my trousers round my ankles

They're getting heavy as they're sinking in the mud

She's hoisted up her black pin-skirt

I'm making love but she's giving me nothing

I stepped outside for a cigarette

I've been writing all alone in the nook

She's stood before me, just a stranger

And now we're naked tied together in the dark

Down on Hospital Lane

It's 2am and the Owls are in the Birch trees

Hoo-hooing at me

Between the legs of a woman whom I hardly even know

The dim glow of the head-lamp

Lights the bad ink on her orange thigh

She scratches her nails down my naked back

The voyeur Moon keeping one eye open

I stepped outside for a cigarette

I've been writing all alone in my nook

She stood before me, but a stranger

And now I press her against the wall

Slide my hand up her skirt

Down on Hospital Lane

It's 2am and the Owls are in the Birch trees

Hoo-hooing at me

Between the legs of a woman whom hardly cares to know about me
