I am a hospital with many wards

I'm saving lives

And fixing people's hearts

But mine's not in it

Hearts but mine's not in it

Emergencies and Accidents

And ambulances are my oxygen

And people are my blood

And corridors my veins

And every day is just the same

Paramedics and pain

I won't complain it could be worse

The old folks homes are cursed

You've got a date with me

Could be tonight it could be years

You've got a date with me

Could be tonight it could be years

And every second people die

And many of them are inside

And most will be here soon

Most will be here soon

And seriously I hate my work

But someone's got to do it

Though the poetry is lost on me

You're born, you live, you die

That's all that I can see from here

Been counting down the years

The wrecking ball is far off yet

And till it comes

I'm something of a prophet

You've got a date with me

Could be tonight it could be years

You've got a date with me

Could be tonight it could be years

It could be years

Could be tonight
