much hair coming in through that window

understand what I'm telling you the

bloody rain man come right into on me

head

that's done M trip to set

now it'll be coming in

here hey

close it for the time

being you haven't come across that pair

of shoes you was going to look out for

me have you no I'll see if I can pick

some up for you today I mean I can't go

out in these can I can't even go get

myself a cup of

tea there's a cafe just along the road

there may be May

there may

be I used to go there quite a

bit years ago now but I

stopped I used to like that place I

spent quite a bit of time in

there I thought they understood what I

said I mean I used to talk to

them same at the

factory I used to talk about things and

these men they used to to listen

whenever I had anything to

say it was all

right trouble

was used to have kind of

hallucination there weren't

hallucinations

they I used to get the feeling I could

see things very

clearly everything was so

clear everything

used everything used to get very

quiet everything got very

quiet all this quiet in this Clear Sight

it

was but maybe I was wrong

anyway someone must

have said

something I didn't know anything about

it some kind of lie must have got around

and this lie went

round thought people started being funny

in that

Cafe

Factory couldn't understand

it then one

day they took me to a

hospital right outside

London they got me

there I didn't want to

go tried to get out quite a few times it

wasn't very

easy they asked me questions in there

they got me in and they asked me all

sorts of questions

well I told them when they wanted to

know what my thoughts

were then one

day this

man head doctor I suppose it was

he he called me

in he

said he told me I had something

he

said they'd concluded their examination

that's what he said and he showed me a

pile of papers and he said that I'd got

something some

complaint he

said just said that you

see you've got this thing that's your

complaint and we've decided he said that

in your interest there's only one course

we can

take he said we're going to do something

to your

brain said if we don't you'll be in here

for the rest of your

life but if we

do you stand a chance he said you can go

out and live like the

others what do you want to do to my

brain I said to him

but he just repeated what he

said well I wasn't a

fool I knew I was a

minor I knew they couldn't do anything

to me without getting

permission I knew they had to get

permission from my

mother so I wrote to her and I told her

what they were trying to

do but she signed the form you see

giving them

permission I know that because he showed

me her signature when I brought it

up well about a week

later they started to come around and do

this thing to the

brain also supposed to have it done in

this

Ward they came around and did it one at

a time one at

night they used to come around with

these I don't know what they

were they look like big pincers with

wires

on wires were attached to a little

machine it was Electric

they used to hold the man

down and then his

chief his chief

doctor he would fit the

pincers something like

earphones used to fit them on either

side of the man's skull and keep them

there there was a man holding the

machine you see he turned it on and then

this

chief he just pressed these pinces

against the man's SK and keep them

there then they take them off cover the

man

up and they wouldn't touch him again

until later

on well they were coming around to

me the night they came I got up off my

bed and I stood against the wall they

tell me to get back on the

bed I knew they had to get me back on

the bed because if they did it while I

was standing up they might break my

spine so I stood

up then one or two of them came for

me when I was younger then much stronger

then than I am now I was quite strong

then I laid one of them out I got

another one round the throat and then

suddenly this chief he had these pinces

on my skull and I knew they weren't

supposed to do it while I was standing

up and that's why I

anyway he did

it so I did get out I got out of the

place but I couldn't walk very

well I don't think my spine was damaged

now that was perfectly all

right trouble

was I couldn't hear what people were

saying I I couldn't look to the right or

the left I had to look straight in front

of me I turned my head round I couldn't

keep

upright and I had these

headaches I used to sit in my room

it's when I live with my mother and my

brother he was younger than

me I laid everything out in order in my

room all the things I knew were

mine but I didn't

die

anyway I feel much better now

but I don't talk to people

now Stiller clear of places like that

Cafe I don't go into them

now I don't talk to

anyone like that

I've often thought of going back and

trying to find the man who did that to

me but I want to do something

what did you call my

brother when is

what now get this straight

nuty who's

nutty would you call my brother

nutty my

brother well now

that's a bit of an impertinent thing to

say is very s saw

himself what a strange man you are

aren't you

a you're really

strange ever since you come into this

house there's been nothing but trouble

honest I can take nothing you say at

face

value every word you speak is open to

any number of different interpretations

most of what you say is lies you're

violent you're erratic you're just

completely

unpredictable in fact when it comes down

to it you're nothing else but a wild

animal you're an old Barbarian and to

put the old tin lid on it you stink from

Colo to breakfast

time well look at

this you come here recommending yourself

as an interior decorator whereupon I

take you on and what happens eh you make

a long speech about all them references

you got down at sidcup and what

happens I haven't noticed you going down

to sidcup to obtain

them it's almost regrettable but it

really does look as though I'm compelled

to pay you off for your caretaking

work there's alha

dollar all right then

you do

that you do

it if that's what you

want that's what I

want anyone to think that this house was

all I got to worry about

I got plenty of other things I can worry

about I got other things I got plenty of

other interest I got my business to

build up hav I I got to think about

expanding in all directions I don't

stand still I'm moving about all the

time I'm on the move all the

time I got to think about the

future I not worried about this house my

brother can worry about it he can

decorate it up he can do what he likes

with it I'm not bothered

I thought I was doing him a favor

letting him

liia he's got his own ideas let him have

them I'm going to Chuck it in

look um

for

I just come

back my

pipe yes yes I I got out and then

halfway down I suddenly realized that I

hav got me pipe so

I come back to get

it so I thought I'd uh nip back for it

like

listen you didn't mean

that did you about me stinking

did

you did

you look I've been thinking why I made

all them

noises uh it was because of the draft uh

see the the the draft was on me as I lay

sleeping made me make them noises

without me knowing it so uh what I've

been thinking uh what I mean to say if I

was to have your

bed you have my bed

there's not all that difference between

them there's the same sort of

bed well you sleep wherever bed you're

in and I'd be out of the draft to see

that'll be all

right well you don't mind a bit of wind

you like a bit of air so I reckon that

would be the best way out of it we swap

beds then we could get on with what we

were saying I'd look after the place for

you I'd uh keep an eye on it for you I

car take for

you for you like not for the

uh not for the other not not for your

brother for

you I be your man you say the

word no I like sleeping in this

bed but you don't understand my

meaning anyway that one's my brother's

bed but brother's

gone he's

gone no I couldn't change

B but you don't understand my

meaning anyway I'm going to be

busy I got that shed to get up if I

don't get it up now it'll never go

up till it's up I can't get started I

give you add to put up your shed that's

what I'll do

I give you

B you see what I'm

saying I can get it up

myself but listen I'm

here I'm with

you I'll do it for

you well we'll do it

together Christ with change bites

look listen man I don't

mind if you don't want to swap beds all

right we'll keep it as it is I I'll stay

in the same

bed if I could get maybe a bit of

stronger sacking light to go over that

window keep out the

draft that'll do it what what do you say

we'll keep it as it

is

no why not

you make too much noise look here

listen listen

here I

mean what am I going to

[Laughter]

do what I

do where am I going to go

all right you want me to go or go you'll

say the word just say the

word

list if I could get down to uh if I

could uh get old of me papers would uh

would you

uh would you let

me if I got down

and got me

[Music]
