| Mad Simon says that he is really quite okay He tells the warden that the CIA’s the one to blame He whispers softly into one of his pillows ears I’ll tell you something about every single person here All the people in the back are really quite cuckoo I hear the engine of my little friend choo-choo the train Coming down the track he’s coming now to take me away He’s really quite the wreck at least that’s what my doctor’s say They tell me this each day, the needles in my brain They start to itch again, they start to itch and… They’re the ones you need to blame for my condition, I’m not paranoid; I’m just very superstitious They’re the ones you need to blame for your condition, Yeah yeah yeah fuck the medication Mad Simon says he's got a great joke to tell, He says he’s Jesus and he’s going to send us all to hell He says he had some tea with daddy just yesterday, And daddy told him fun is over Son I’m on my way All you sinners clear a path start digging up your graves, The end is near but don’t you fear that’s what he always says And if you need to find him, he’ll be hiding ‘neath his bed, Or somewhere in the corner smothered in his feces he said That’s what his daddy said, But daddy never came They start to itch again, they start to itch and… I’m Mad Simon, welcome to my mansion Crazy people call it an asylum |
| Song Background The song is about insanity and asylums in Britain. The character is named Simon because it always seemed British to me. He has a girlfriend named Jennifer ( of Jennifer's Invisible) and he's insane. More or less the words speak for themselves and his insanity goes from believing the CIA made him this way to drinking tea with God (his supposed father.) He claims he acts that way as a result of superstition not mental health. Finally, for the grand finale he claims his home is a mansion - not an asylum - and that we the crazies in the outside world are wrong about our own mental health. And who is to say he is wrong ? -Brian- |
