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
