Egg - A Visit to Newport Hospital lyrics

There used to be a time when we lived in the van We used to roam about with Janice, Liz and Ann Now looking back it seemed to be a happy time And so we kid ourselves we didn't really mind The hang-ups and the lack of bread There were four of us then, the group was Uriel We played five nights a week at Ryde Castle Hotel We spent our time avoiding skinheads and the law It was a freedom that we'd never felt before And now we're doing this instead It was a way of life that was completely new And so we found that we had quite a lot to do The time pa**ed slowly and each day was much the same We ate and loved and slept and no-one was to blame For saying things better left unsaid
