Also after this song on 17:00 "I am ill", one of the simplest tracks on the album, also one of the most hauntingly beautiful. Written when he was 16! This guy's a prodigy. Lyrics roughly as follows:
I am ill,
I am deathly ill and well
I am sick again,
I am ill,
I am sick of being ill.
Up, up, up,
Don't give up;
Make this stop.
I am ill,
I am deathly ill and well
I am sick again,
I am ill,
I am sick of being ill.
Up, up, up,
I give up;
Make it stop.
Call up the hospital make me a bed,
Reception staff say I'm better of dead.
Movement suggests that I am still alive:
With my head in my hands I've lost my taste for life.
