Hospital Food Lyrics:
Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the day
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say 'well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know

14 January 2006 I went to visit my mother in Hospital here in Johannesburg, South Africa... It was the last song that was played before we left the hospital to home ... The song kept playing in my heard all week until we got the sad news that my mom had passed on ... I love this song it reminds me of the last moments with my mom...

[@kevinmurley4776]

My dad passed away three years later and ditto

[@peterbalac1915]

You only get one mom, pinicle of the family sorry to hear of your loss guys ❤

[@mattyp6607]

This tune is so good, and so underrated

[@wizard1370]

I know right

[@IN-rf1pv]

This is one of those songs you come back to every 2-3 years and just have to keep it in the playlist for days.

[@dylpickle2861]

This song makes me cry every time. Its such an accurate description of apathetic depression. Tell me something i dont already know. Hits so so hard.

[@nikafree1852]

The best music and lyrics ever made.

[@sonjanovak9785]

This is one of the best songs Ive ever heard!!!

[@petergolden6867]

Sitting here working thru Covid Quarantine smiling at all these incredible songs - just brilliant and even better live

[@koldplayz1]

IMO, the most underrated singer & songwriter of the 21st century. Nice thing however, you can still see him live at a 4,000 seat venue. His work speaks for itself, No. 1 selling artist in Ireland’s history. ( U2 is from Ireland ). No. 20 in the U.K. White Ladder has now sold 10,000,000 copies and is now in the top 100 albums sold in music history, yet, you can still catch him exiting the stage door after a concert and have a conversation. If I had to pick a single album to take on a deserted island, hands down, White Ladder. I’ve been a fan since 2004 and I’ve literally given 50 + White Ladder CD’s to family, friends and sometimes strangers over the years and many have thanked me later for introducing and sharing their new favorite singer & songwriter…. To see and hear him live is sublime!

[@GoodMrDawes]

What a brilliant song

[@aircanuck]

These have to be the most underrated, under viewed videos on youtube.

[@modarXmodar]

This song was released in 2005, and this video was uploaded in 2013... so it's not actually under viewed, it's just been uploaded only recently. Probably there was an older video with much higher views but it has been deleted for some reason.

[@alanfleming6021]

modarXmodar It was a video about a psych ward a living hell .I know because iv'e been there that's why it was deleted

[@matth1j]

+modarXmodar There was an older video, but it was poor quality; all the comments were 'please upload a decent video'. So they did, eventually :)

[@RS-mm4vr]

I never saw one, I was under the the impression when this came out that it was about war veterans. Not the video I would have thought at all. Not that there is anything wrong with it - just completely unexpected!

[@peterbalac1915]

This video was born from one flew over the cookoo's nest, the nurse in this video looks like nurse Ratchet iconic film Nicholson at his very best.

[@clippedwings225]

In love with the iTunes original version of this song- and I can't find it anywhere on the internet! There's probably very few people who will get to listen to that version again. Glad we have it on our itunes account.

[@mohamed17bassal]

fantastic video.. great and underrated song

[@tristancrellin9104]

Such a powerful song, I find myself listening to it each time my parents have been in hospital for cancer and it helps me to reflect on what they are going through. Once again I am here for that reason...I find it has mental medicinal properties

[@stewbeattie4316]

Thanks so much! ❤️A real person at last❤️😘

[@pikachuuprising637]

I wish your parents recover.

[@tristancrellin9104]

@@pikachuuprising637 very sweet for you to reply. They both passed from their Illnesses. Still listen to this song when times seem tough

[@MarkDeYoung]

David Grey's best song yet, you already know that!

[@stewbeattie4316]

Yeah! But no

[@happyears21694]

I do agree. 1. Hospital Food 2. Please Forgive Me 3. The One I Love 4. Sail Away 5. This Year's Love

[@ricklaird9210]

" David Gray is a Brilliant Musician "

[@gingertoffee2256]

Rick Laird fully agree, i feel, even from his early shine days, he has sang the soundtrack to my life. His music has helped me to try and conquer the unbeatable grief of losing my Mam n Dad in 3 months of each other. I seen him live so many times, i find him a beautiful man and a caring soul x

[@koldplayz1]

We’ve shared a similar path. My father 82, who passed away a few years ago ( cancer ) played his White Ladder CD on his patio countless evenings while viewing beautiful Arizona sunsets and once asked me if you could wear out a CD due to his thousands of plays. I assured him that you couldn’t but for “ Insurance “, I purchased another copy, just in case!

[@DngrDan]

This song always reminds me of stocking the shelves at Publix ten years ago, age nineteen. Pretty sure the grocery store is the only place you'll hear play this song. What a shame because it's a gem.

[@ziyarhimli4990]

I have been looking for this song since I heard it in a store. omg this is amazing

[@halfwaydowntheroad]

Ziya Rahimli awesome you found the song. It's great, ain't it? I love when that happens that you hear a song in a store; but it can be both fun and frustrating trying to find the artist if you don't catch it exact.

[@SuperSausageDog]

Still here in 2024. I bloody love this song!

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

Would hear this on the radio in NZ all the time when I a kid.

[@kazegirioni]

love his smile before he slaps the tray. I do that everyday ;)

[@sagerdood]

I just heard him do this last live last weekend, it was so fuckin awesome. And he did white ladder top to bottom. I cried

[@jimmyhigham2691]

hey i play this over over again,love it

[@NatalieBeverleyOConnor]

I love David gray

[@joankaranja5973]

Having spent time in a psych ward ...and attempting to escape and failed...this song hits home. "Tell me something.......x2 ...I don't already know 🤒

[@stevejones224]

One of the best songs after white ladder album in my opinion

[@Mayhemerz]

This was played on the local pub's music rotation recently, which is how I was reminded of the song...

[@thomasanderson2483]

Thought provoking song about society today,and great song great artist

[@stewbeattie4316]

So right! definitely about the sad people on the planet!!I'm probably one of them?

[@JamesStrafford]

From the superb Life in Slow Motion album. Not a bad song on it. Somehow captures wistful sadness but not depressing.

[@theoryfish3491]

Pure genius. An allegory for us intuitive feelers coming up against...pure stupidity...ie 'the system'...our only choice is to rebel in a subversive way. Perfect.

[@crazydaisy_x5935]

This was played at my parents wedding!

[@MichaelHoare-bh5pg]

David Grey as just as good at piano playing as Billy Joel and Elton John are ,I think they are equal first.

[@edhickey6336]

Just curious does anyone else think it is a song about mental health? At least that's how it struck me. That's it's a mental health facility....having been there that's how it struck me at least

[@peat1971]

I think its about how mental health professanals claim to know whats wrong with you, when really they dont.

[@peterbalac1915]

Just read it was something to do with his father dying in hospital, read it in an earlier comment its very reminiscent of the Film One flew over the cookoo's nest with Jack Nicholson. Where the answer to mental illness was hooking you up to the national grid, I knew a guy that had that experience he was never the same .

[@peterbalac1915]

Whatch the Film, defenately where the video cost its context even down to the hot nurse handing out the medication. Nurse Ratchet !!

[@edhickey6336]

@@peat1971 @peat1971 I spend 4 days on a hold . My diagnosis came back as major depressive disorder...uh yeah no shit this is not any sort of new revelatory finding.

and turning away...

[@RS-mm4vr]

Not at all what I was expecting when I searched this song, years ago there was never a video and it was just music. I always thought about the war when i've heard this, like a guy who has been wounded and sent home. It's all a war really though, isn't it. To be honest, everyone makes their own thoughts and allusions to songs, so...

[@EmeraldStarryEyez]

Actually, years and years ago there was a video. It just wasn't widely aired as youtube was in its infancy.

[@peterbalac1915]

It's like a scene from One flew over the cuckoo's nest, I wouldn't mind betting that iconic film inspired this video.

[@wizard1370]

I don’t understand why this song is hated

I got a letter asking to sign a paper to have my 5500 bill waved cause somebody donated money towards my bill

This song is about visiting and sleeping by his Father while he slowly died in hospital, not about an asylum

[@stewbeattie4316]

This song is about me!and every one that can relate!

[@joeschmoe9699]

His style reminds me of Billy Bragg in a strange kinda way

[@MichaelHoare-bh5pg]

Yes,certainly on certain songs like Hospital Food,I think it's the stridency in David's voice which is similar to Billy Bragg's strident delivery in his songs.

[@michaelmoan765]

Application equals principles,methods, theories and practically applying them,but first you have to obtain the knowledge and you're on the learning boat of Gaskell house from Claire streets notes Dr Skidmore eat your dinner
