A song primarily about old folks nursing homes though the opening footage is of my father in hospital a few months before he died after being finally moved into a nursing home. As you can see from the cracks in the wall and blistered paintwork, the hospital ward he stayed in was in dire need of attention. The activities within old peoples residential homes needs improving. I know of one home that hires a singer to entertain its inmates......four times a year !!!! I didnt get the job but I do occasionally sing in such establishments which inspired me to write this song based on my experience. Here are the lyrics: She sits in her chair waving her arms Head rocking to and fro Shes got tubes round her neck, tubes up her nose Attached to a life saving gizmo Theres an old girl who clearly cant look after herself Always calling for help to take her down off the shelf While the other inmates have to sit and listen Cos they cant get up to walk out of nightmare prison You can see a brave face on these abandoned old folks bundled together in the final hoax Care in the communitys a flipping joke If they were animals youd put most of em down Its not like the hotel they stayed at every year With entertainment each night, cocktails and beer Its just an institution, the last stop saloon The beers all run dry doom and gloom These are the unlucky ones I get to see There are others confined to their dormitory The only way out is in a plywood coffin But theyre worth more alive because their rent is astonishing You can see a brave face on these abandoned old folks bundled together in the final hoax Care in the communitys a flipping joke If they were animals youd put most of em down
