Chapterhouse - Lady Godiva's Operation lyrics

Lady Godiva, dressed so demurely Pats the head of another curly-haired boy Just another toy Sick with silence, she weeps sincerely Saying words that have oh so clearly been said So long ago Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulder Life has made her that much bolder now That she found out how Dressed in silk, satin, lace and envy Pride and joy of the latest penny-fare Pretty pa**ing care Hair today now dripped in the water Making love to every poor daughter's son Isn't it fun? Now today, propping grace with envy Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone's there And hasn't a care "Doctor is coming," the nurse thinks sweetly Turning on the machines that neatly pump air The body lies bare Shaved and hairless, what once was screaming Now lies silent and almost sleeping The brain must have got away Strapped securely to the white table Ether causes the body to wither and writhe Underneath the white light Doctor arrives with a knife and baggage Sees the throat, of oh so much cabbage That must now be cut away Now comes the moment of great decision Doctor's making his first incision One goes here One goes there "The ether's leaking," says someone who's sloppy The patient, it seems, is not so well sleeping Screams echo up the hall Don't panic, someone give him pentathol instantly Doctor removes his blade cagily slow from the brain By nine out of ten The head won't move
