I Don't Want to Die (In the Hospital)

i love the part about the windowsill, making a connection to the arcade fire (a great band)

i really like this whole song, and thats my favorite part

i cant believe noones commented this, this is such a fun song

i like this conor said its about last wishes love the line, help me get my boots on

that was awesome

absolutely love the way he says "Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song"

I was just gonna say the same thing about the Morphine line. This whole song is so much fun. And some parts of it remind me of older Bright Eyes songs, he just has so much energy. Similar to the energy in "The Calender Hung Itself" the songs aren't really similar but for some reason the energy I get from this song REALLY reminds me of The Calender Hung Itself.

Great song. One thing I like is how the lyrics start off I don't "wanna" die in this hospital, then at the end it's I ain't "gonna" die in this hospital. It shows his frustration growing and his resolve getting stronger. And agreed HomerunHenry, the Morphine line is the best part of the song.

Whose the backup singer in this song? During the "Help me get my boots on" part?

This is my favorite on his new CD. I agree with the morphine in the blood line being the best part. Conor has such a sexy voice. This is a lot of fun. :]

Some minor corrections:

I don’t wanna die in the hospital No I don’t wanna die in the hospital No I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

I don’t wanna hear all those factory sounds Looking like the girl in the sleeping gown I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

Can you make a sound to distract the nurse Before I take a ride in that long black hearse I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

Ah help me get my boots on Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots back on

Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots back on

I gotta go, go, go Cause I don’t have long

Yeah I don’t give a damn what the doctors say I don’t wanna spend another lonesome day I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

They don’t let you smoke and you can’t get drunk All there is to watch are these soap operas I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

Can you get this tube out of my arm Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song I don’t wanna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside

Ah help me get my boots on Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots back on

Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots on Help me get my boots back on

I gotta go go go Cause I don’t have long

Is there still a world at my windowsill All there ever was I remember still I don’t wanna die in this hospital You gotta take me back outside

Don’t know when it’s day or when its night All I ever see are florescent lights I don't wanna die in this hospital You gotta take me back outside

They give me all these flowers and these big balloons But I’m not gonna stay in this little room I don't wanna die in this hospital, I don't wanna die

Are the stars still in the sky Is that fat moon on the rise Feel the earth against my feet As the cold wind calls for me

I don't wanna die in this hospital No, i don't wanna die in this hospital No, i ain't gonna die in this hospital You gotta take me back outside

Yeah, I ain’t gonna die in the hospital No I ain’t gonna die in the hospital No I ain’t gonna die in the hospital You gotta take me back outside
