Health Surface Lyrics - You'll Ruin It For Everyone - Crass

Places of sickness nurse me cold 

Attendant whiteness glare in dark 

Straighten out the winding sheet 

Twisted round in poorest dreams 

Shattered proofing of the lost 

Splinter shackled, little wounds 

Of cruelty and truth, they tie 

The one way sickness up inside 

Regressive smile, a babys laugh 

A learnt contortion of the mouth 

Places of laughter leave me cool 

Hot fire dying down to ash 

Beauty breezes through so swift 

Endless roundabout of grief 

Not much to ask, a rightful place 

Where nothing matters, but can touch 

Without a sinking heart, this sigh 

Could be the wind among the leaves 

This pain does not belong to me 

They've taken everything away 

To nurse the sicknesses of loss 

Instilled with fear and bleachy guilt 

Impatient winds up in her cloth 

The tired shoes are splitting up 

With weighty promises of love 

Waiting for the last to fall away 

Buckle noose around the strap 

All that separates the flesh 

From green grass or sinking mud 

Stagnating, knowing the delusion 

Clean sheets waiting for a body 

Slapped into life and slowly gutted 

A place of sickness is to die in 

Tired of the cruelty and lying 

Drip-fed tears of the forsaken 

They say "we'll soon have you up and walking" 

Took the prison for a stronghold 

Took the lies for a love-song 

Paid for life on a shoestring 

Waiting for the last to fall away 

Buckle noose around the strap 

All that separates the flesh
