A&E Lyrics by Squeeze

The Knowledge

2017

Verses 1
I took my wife to the A&E
It took all night just to be seen
She broke her leg and was in pain
The nurses looked completely drained

But nice as pie and so composed
How do they cope it's hard to know
With violent men that hurl abuse
A daily battleground they never lose

Chorus:
Ooooh I'm no politician
Ooooh I can see something's wrong
It wouldn't hurt so much to give them more . .
It's got to be something worth fighting for

Verses 2
A stolen mind is hard to trace
A dose of drugs disguise the face
And any love behind the eyes
Is covered up when tranquilized

Mental health our doctors know
Is underfunded and unexposed
When happiness is swallowed deep
Other distractions put our nation to sleep

Chorus:
Ooooh I'm no politician
Ooooh I can see something's wrong
It wouldn't hurt so much to give them more . .

Outro Chorus Tag:
You criticise so that you can ignore
How hard they work and who they're working for
It's got to be something worth fighting for
