I Can't Remember…But It's All Gud, Innit!!


I can't remember when I had no pain,
For it's long ago way back when…
When I was a child I think,
But I could be wrong again…
I guess I was much younger,
About 15 years old in truth,
Because after 15 I cant really recall,
Cause my health became bad in my youth!
When I was just sweet 16…
I had me mother up the wall,
For I was in awful agony one day,
And the doctor she had to call!
Well he walked into me bedroom,
And there was I – prostrate,
And when he tried to move me,
There became a hell of a debate!

He tried to give me a pain pill!
Because I couldn't lift me head off the bed,
But oh cor blimey, I scared him so!
When he jarred me poor little head!
If I said I screamed the house down,
That would be an understatement from me,
Cos I roared and screamed and sobbed,
I was in absolute agony you see!

Well the poor doctor got an awful fright!
And panicky said to me mum!
‘Oh hell, I need an ambulance!
Cos I don't know what she's done!'
So the ambulance came - post haste!
And what a trial they had with me!
Cos every time they made a mistake,
They made me scream you see!
Me poor neck was in agony,
This arthritis had some accounting to do!
Cos I was up the flippin' wall,
Cos of what this arthritis thing put me through!
They got me in the hospital…
And threw me in the bed,
And then I heard a whisper,
But couldn't hear what had been said!

But wow, I soon found out!
They brought this stupid contraption thing!
And tied me head up in it!
And pulled this wire and string!
Then they attached me to a motor!
And turned the flamin' thing on!
And oh cor blimey and sugar plumbs,
Just what had they done!!!
It pulled me neck right out, it did!
And caused me so much pain,
And every time I thought that was it,
It pulled me once again!
So there I was, up the pole,
Two weeks in the hospital bed!
All wired up, and all braced up!
It was murder, it has to be said!

And since then that flamin' arthritis,
Has spread all over the place,
Yes, I have to admit it…
I was scowling all over me face!
But no sweat, no worries,
Cos I'm used to being messed up,
But really, when I wanted a drink,
They gave me a sorta tea-pot cup!!!
So I never went there again,
Well blimey, nor would you!
And after that, I just plodded on,
Cos that's one thing I'll never, ever go through!!!

Oh blimey, oh hell…what a pain…
Cos I ended up in there, over and again!

It's all gud tho innit!!!!
