long john baldry - baldry’s out lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when they took me away to the funny farm
they tried to tell me that i’d come to no harm
they said, “mr. baldry, there’s no cause for alarm!”
took one look at the place, i tried to slash my arm
but the razor was blunt, hadn’t used it in years
not since i tried to do a van gogh on my ears
they gave me some valium to quieten my fears
and put me away for a couple of years

[chorus:]
baldry’s out! what’s the news on him?
baldry’s out! no more abuse for him
baldrys out! up on a stage again
he’s out of his cage, he’s out again!

[verse 2]
i had a tailored jacket was made of white sack
with extra long sleeves tied up at the back
a nice little costume to go and see the quack
and let her find out why my brain had gone slack
nurse ratchett comes round;
“it’s medication time”
largactil and valium, quaaludes and strychnine
a pageant of nutters all waiting in line
collecting some candies to blanket their minds

[chorus:](x2)
baldry’s out! what’s the news on him?
baldry’s out! no more abuse for him
baldrys out! up on a stage again
he’s out of his cage, he’s out again!

[verse 3]
they used a machine to check out my brain
the wave patterns showed i was far from insane
almost a g#nius, well that’s what i claim
and now that i’m out, i don’t know who to blame
got out of the place, bus fare in my hand
i went to see if i could find my old band
they’d ended in jail for a couple of grammes
so i left london for the promised land

baldry’s out! what’s the news on him?
baldry’s out! no more abuse for him
baldrys out! up on a stage again
baldry’s out! out of his cage again
baldry’s out! what’s the news on him?
baldry’s out! no more abuse for him
baldrys out! up on a stage again
he’s out of his head, he’s out again!
