The Moon Upstairs
Mott The Hoople

Well, my brother, he was a drinking man and I asked him for release

He said, This won't do you no good, and sent for the police

Well, they busted me for nothing, 'cos they said, I was insane

So, they let my body go, but they locked away my brain

Well, I wandered freely as a bird that had broken both it's wings

And I hated them and they hated me, and I hated everything

And I realize that to survive, well, my body is not mine

And I feel neglected feel rejected, living in the wrong time

And to those of you who always laugh

Let this be your epitaph

And my head is down and I'm called a clown by comedians that grace

The living stage of every page of worthless meaningless space

But I swear to you before we're though you're gonna feel our every blow

We ain't bleeding you we're feeding you but you're too fucking slow
