Love Will Get You Sectioned

Original lyrics and music by Jolly Longfellow
composed and arranged by Igneous Fig

Recorded @ Pipe Dream Studio Peniche, Portugal

lyrics

All that I hear
When talking of love
It's a gift from the heavens
A force from above
From what I can see
That ain't quite the case
Neurotic disorder
Is too commonplace
You could call her attached
The Doc says insane
Her claws were so deep
They almost ruptured a vein
That hospital diet
Has made her a winner
Lithium's for breakfast
Prozac is for dinner

Love will get you sectioned my friend
Over the hospital ward
Does your romance suspend
Best hope you'll make an imaginary friend
Before the nurse calls out your name

On the outside
The sun always shines
If only it would reach
The shadows of her mind
Barley it creeps
Through the asylum blinds
She's cold and alone
As her madness unwinds
How was she to know
When falling in love
She'd be thrown in a cage
And pumped full of drugs
Maybe she'll never get out
She'll be a permanent fixture
That straight jacket wont help
At least it shows off her figure

Love will get you sectioned all right
You'll howl at the moon
In the dawn's early light
When everything's chilled
You'll be picking a fight
Then the nurse screams out your name

So next time Sweetie puckers her lips
Remember love comes
With a sinister twist
Soon you'll be fluent
In gibberish
At least the nurse can remember your name

Can you repeat that again?
