Hamburger Lady Lyrics by Throbbing Gristle

The Taste of TG (A Beginner’s Guide to the Music of Throbbing Gristle)

1978

By far the worst is the hamburger lady
We must heal them for the qualified technicians
Worst
Alternating nights unrelievedly
She's lying there
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady
She's dying, she is burned from the waist up, she is burned from the waist up
On her arm
Her ear is burned, her nose is burned
Her eyelashes and her fingers are burned
She can't hold anything
And even with medical advances, there's no end in sight
For Hamburger Lady
When somebody tells you that there is a level of pain beyond which the human mind
Lady on the potty chair
Unrelievedly
She's burned from the waist down
That's what keeps her alive, the tubes
And the nice nurses
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady
She's okay if you change the tubes
Tubes in her legs, the tubes in her arms
She's okay
Then he came out and saw one of the burn nurses
She was eating a can of chili-mac
And he flashed on the carpet, flashed on the floor
The Hamburger Lady
Stretch since she came to us
Unrelievedly
The qualified technicians
Hamburger Lady
Hamburger Lady
[...]
The potty chair
Qualified technicians
Keeps her alive
