When I Was Bed Lyrics
Oooh, when I was bed
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
Perfumed his hair with white powders
Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek
Perfumed his hair with white powders
Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek
Oooh, I was bed
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
The antiquity of that one moment
How filthy his shoes had been
And how soon we forget the smell of survival
Blanket it with roses and sick tears
Oooh, I was bed
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
Oooh, when I was bed
When I was bed
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek
Perfumed his hair with white powders
Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
How filthy his shoes had been
And how soon we forget the smell of survival
Blanket it with roses and sick tears
Before she spread lilacs on the sheets
When I was bed

Um, this should be BAD. not BED.
Nope. The song is called When I Was Bed. The song mentions sheets. Sheets are on beds. I think it's about a dead guy laying on a bed and a woman cleaning him up and making him smell nice again. I'm probably wrong but that's what I picture when I read the lyrics and hear the song.
i think it's just about getting done in the butt, honestly.
I always thought it was about a sick bed, being so ill and being confined to bed so long that you feel one with the bed. But the comment about a dead body is thought provoking too.
I think this song is about being dopesick ie. withdrawing from heroin.
