Lady Godiva's Operation Lyrics - John Cale

Lady godiva, hair dressed so demurely 

Pats the head of another curly-haired boy 

Just another toy 

Sick with silence she weeps sincerely 

Saying words that have all so clearly been said 

So long ago 

 

Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulders 

Life has made her that much bolder now 

That she found out how 

 

Dressed in silk, clad in lace and envy 

Pride and joy of the latest penny fair 

Pretty passing care 

 

Her hair today now are dipped in the water 

Making love to every poor daughter's son 

Isn't it fun?

Now today, propping grace with envy 

Lady godiva peers to see if anyone's there 

And hasn't a care 

 

The doctor's coming, the nurse thinks sweetly 

Turning on the machines that neatly pump air 

The body lies bare 

 

Shaved and hairless, what once was screaming 

Now lies silent and almost sleeping 

The brain must have gone away 

 

Strapped securely to the white table 

Ether causes the body to wither and writhe 

Underneath the white light 

 

The doctor arrives, knife and baggage 

Sees the growth as just so much cabbage 

That now 

Must be cut away

Now comes the moment of great! great! decision! 

The doctor is making his first incision 

One goes here - one goes there 

 

The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy 

Patient it seems is not so well sleeping 

The screams echo up the hall 

Don't panic someone give him pentathol instantly 

Doctor removes his blade 

Cagily so from the brain 

By my count of ten - 

The head won't move!
