A Visit To Newport Hospital
There used to be a time when we lived in the van
We used to loon about with Janice, Liza 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 passed 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
Uma Visita ao Hospital de Newport
Havia um tempo em que a gente morava na van
A gente ficava de boa com Janice, Liza e Ann
Agora, olhando pra trás, parecia ser um tempo feliz
E assim a gente se engana, dizendo que não se importava
Com as encrencas e a falta de grana
Éramos quatro naquela época, o grupo era Uriel
Tocávamos cinco noites por semana no Ryde Castle Hotel
Passávamos o tempo fugindo de skinheads e da polícia
Era uma liberdade que nunca tínhamos sentido antes
E agora estamos fazendo isso em vez
Era um jeito de viver que era completamente novo
E assim descobrimos que tínhamos bastante o que fazer
O tempo passava devagar e cada dia era bem parecido
A gente comia, amava e dormia, e ninguém tinha culpa
Por dizer coisas que era melhor deixar pra lá
