Again once more Lyrics

The old man lies upon the bed

Dependant on the staff

To help him mend

Mop his brow

Watered and fed

The day he dies

The day they dread

And the suction cleans

The mucus throat

It is no good

It is the end

And no matter

How many tears are spilt

The domestics must come round

And clean the floor

Again once more

On the day he was to die

Everyone wants the answer why

Where's his children gone

Where's his wife

He died alone

Is that his choice

Now the shrouded man

Is wheeled away

All his clothes remain unclaimed

And no matter

How many tears were spilt

The domestics must come round

And clean the floor

Again once more

So the relatives have been found

The house is stripped

And laid bare

And no matter

How many tears are spilt

The council must come round

And clean the floor

Again once more
