An Inmates Lullaby

Lyrics

[Chorus: Derek Shulman] Lying down here in the afternoon In my pretty cosy little cushioned room I can talk to all my funny friends in here I was told to rest while I am not quite clear [Verse 1: Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear] Eating flowers growing in the garden (In a) Where there are tasty tulips and I don't care (Garden where) If I wet my trousers there was no time (Tulips) I had nowhere else to go nowhere else could I find (I don't care) [Verse 2: Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear] Staring up at the great big white light (Staring) That shines every day and shines all through the night (Big white light) Hearing voices of the silly friends of mine (Shining) Always lock the door nurses waiting outside all the time (Through the night) [Instrumental Break 1:19–2:14] [Break: Derek Shulman] Hurt myself this morning, Doctor gave me warning sent me To my room and told me that I'm bad [Bridge: Derek Shulman] I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying maybe for a Long time, why does everybody else think that I'm mad I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying maybe for a Long time and that I'm mad [Instrumental Break 3:02–3:44] [Chorus: Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear] Lying down here in the afternoon (Lying) In my pretty cosy little cushioned room (Afternoon) I can talk to all my funny friends in here (In my) I was told to rest while I am not quite clear (Pretty room)
