The Patient Lyrics & Chords By The Apostles

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 kill 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.
