Asuylum

Jimmy Cream was keen
His brain was always winnin'
I can't keep tabs on mine
It's really quite a joke
I see him down the road
I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15p – I'm dying for a smoke
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's just a game I play for fun – for fun

I told 'em – look! – I said
I'm not the way you're thinkin'
Just when I'm down I'll be the clown
I'll play the fool
Please don't arrange to have me
Sent to no asylum i'm just as sane as anyone
It's just a game I play for fun – for fun

Is it really?

Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well, he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Well, he ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Yeah, he is always trying to
Yeah but nothin', no no nothin' does he say
In the morning when the days begun
– "Hello, Good morning, how are you?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
– "Oh, what a lovely afternoon!"
Well I've been living next to you

Bluesy Monday is the one day
That they come here
Yeah, when they haunt me and they
Taunt me in my cage oh, in my cage
I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small
They got no answer
Yeah, they're playin' dumb but I'm
Just laughing as they rage
Don't arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum
Well it's only a game I'm playin' for fun
Yeah I've been tryin' to fool everyone

Oh, but they still taunt me
Oh, is it really? No, that's too heavy

Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well, he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
He ain't ever likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
He is always trying to
But nothin', no no nothin' does he ever say
In the morning when the day's begun
– "Do you think it looks like rain?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
– "You know I nearly missed my train"
Well I've been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you?
Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
Now I've never been insane
Oh what's the game? I believe I'm dying

He's mad, mad, mad not quite right
(Not quite right) o-o-o ooooo
