I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me
Even though I'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
that the NHS just doesn't care
My arms enfold the death bed
Malnutrition dulls my hair
Corridors are black and dirty
With an unwashed faeces smear
I'm the corpse on the gurney
Will no-one spare some Flash?
I'm the child that dies of infection
'cause managers got all the cash
(chorus)
I'm the murderer and untouchable
The licence with the gun
I'm an overpaid middle manager
With the one clean office in a slum
I'm a Capita consultant
With a cracking bonus year
I'm a parking revenue attendant
At a hospital with dirty beds
(chorus)
I'm a dying first world mother
A sick man without a bed
I'm a trust boss hooked on consultants
I'm a patient here alone
I'm a cancer outpatient
Paying out the earth
I'm another infected baby
I'm dying from my birth.

Have you seen someof the people employed to clean these hospitals? Their standard of hygiene can leave a little to be desired.
Having said that, some of the patients are truly diry cunts. I visited a hospital not so very long ago. The toilet had shit smeared on the wall where someone had used their hand to wipe their arse and then the wall to wipe their hand.
There are som many now who just don't give a fuck that I'm surprised it's not a whole lot worse.
Superb paraphrase of a good song Obo. :-)
It right fucks me off being hectored by a GP about health, when the NHS can't keep people healthy in their own hospitals.
They tend to get moody when I say I'll give up unhealthy lifestyle choices when they stop killing their patients.
word ver. Moner (seriously! How did they know?)
