Pogues Pinned Down - I'm Alone In The Wilderness Lyrics

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)

f*cked Up
Set up
Faced up
Jacked up
Sitting there in chokey
14 years old

No lock on the door
But no way out
No joking
No hoping
No nothing
Pinned Down.

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)

Fat greasy shrinks
Complacent bastards
Got no reason
For the things
They ask you
Put away in a hole
Till you're ready
For jail and the dole
Take away your soul
Pinned Down.

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)

Wake up
and your heart's not beating
Try to say something
But they got you beaten
You try to take it
Away from them
Once, and twice
And then again and
Again and again, again.
Jump out of the window
Slash your wrists
When all you really wanted
Was to screw and get pissed. And the sky goes black
But you can't go back
And the way ahead just leads to
The Chandler Clinic.
And there's nothing in there
Except madness and despair

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)

Dehydration
Humiliation
Degradation
Mind castration
And the sky is black
And the one next to you
Keeps thinking they're having a heart attack.

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)

Desolation
On medication
Nurse nurse nurse
can't sleep easy
Nurse nurse nurse
are you f*cking with me
ECT f*ckin' did a thing on me
ECT did a job on me
ECT did a job on me
ECT did a job on me.
Pinned Down
Pinned Down.

(I'm alone in the wilderness...)
Pinned Down.
(I'm alone in the wilderness...)
Pinned Down.

f*ck!
