Four walls and window with metal bars
And painting of himself as a hanging man
He over heard the doctor say he won't improve...
And still his hands refuse to move
They put him in a room with another lad
Who it seems had twice tried to k** his dad
He is eighteen, He's the saddest case they've ever seen
What do his painting's mean?
He'd been arrested and Hackney Central;
The bus inspector said he must have been mental
His girlfriend said was a strange affair;
He'd tried to rape a boy with long black hair
This incident took place on may the third...
Ever since then he's never said a word
He is eighteen. This is the strangest place he's ever been
What does it all mean?
Each and every morning he get's out of bed at four
To begin another day in his private war
The nurses say he's a disturbing sight
Because all he wants to do is fight, fight...
What is his reason? What can it be?
They can't understand him and neither can he
