The Abandoned Hospital Ship Lyrics
Well, it took some time
Because it's a lot
God, it's a bunch
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz
And yeah, it took some help
With lots of machines
The experts could tell
With their equipment pushed to the max
And sure it seems easy now
But I tell you what
We were perplexed finding the needle
In the needle's disguise
And now that it's conceived
The station has all settled down
And I'm sort of relieved
And I'm getting over it now
Because it's a lot
God, it's a bunch
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz
With lots of machines
The experts could tell
With their equipment pushed to the max
But I tell you what
We were perplexed finding the needle
In the needle's disguise
The station has all settled down
And I'm sort of relieved
And I'm getting over it now

Insane. No one's cared to comment on this one? 'S about Heroin I think.
I care to. This song kicks ass!!!!! you can tell drugs are a serious influence on Clouds Taste Metallic.
This song sounds more like it is about advancement. Like getting/discovering a new thing takes lots of work, effort, and really baffles people when they find it, but afterwards you are so used to it's existence, it seems easy, obvious, and everyone has settled down about it.
I completely agree with Hybrination. Couldn't have possibly put it better. It's just brilliant isn't it? You can really feel it.
I personally see this song being about a breakup/moving on/finding someone else. The first part
"Well, it took some time Because it's a lot God, it's a bunch It's such a big, old, black golden buzz"
Meaning they've been together so long that it took a long time to recover from it. The next part
"And yeah, it took some help With lots of machines The experts could tell With their equipment pushed to the max"
He turns to whatever source of help 'machines' are, whether it be drugs or friends or whatever.
"And sure it seems easy now But I tell you what We were perplexed finding the needle In the needle's disguise"
Looking back on it he can see how much was wrong with his partner, but at the time it was so hard to find faults in what he saw as the perfect person (needle's disguise).
"And now that it's conceived The station has all settled down And I'm sort of relieved And I'm getting over it now "
Now it's officially done, and he is sort of relieved but still recovering.
Beautiful song either way. I just had a semi-breakup and so of course I see every song like this, but it sounds right to me.
I love the end of this song. How can you NOT listen to it with the volume to the max???
My favorite track from the "Clouds Taste Metallic" LP (along with 'Placebo Headwound').
