Englishman In Corridor Songtext
von Rhode Island

It′s winter here in Switzerland
The snow so white and pristine
The hospital ward magnolia and clean
The church-bells sing through my eiderdown
Like silken sheets on my skin
The life I leave insufferable and grim

Starlight shines over chimney pots
In a chocolate box scene in my head
The wires and machines sit unfussily
Around the broken down limbs in my bed
In my bed


Hopeful, dear, make me comfortable
Clasp my claw hammer fist
Look outside at the freezing air
See its cold and clear and crisp
I don't want to die here

I′m an English man
I'm an English man
Let me go, let me go, let me stay
I'm an English man
I′m an English man
Let me go, let me go, let me stay
I′m an English man
I'm an English man
Let me go, let me go, let me stay
I′m an English man on these corridors
I'm an English man in these bays
