lyrics

Asylum Blues
(Cardier)

Well, it’s a fine day at the asylum -
It’s a fine day, uh-huh -

Sun shinin’ and birds twitterin’ -
Soft music and butterflies -
And a nice man with his mop and bucket -
And I look sharp in my new jacket -
It’s a fine day at the asylum, uh-huh.

Got my heart in a tangle -
Got my head in a spin -
How come it’s so hard gettin’ out
When it’s so easy gettin’ in?

Well, it’s a fine day at the asylum -
It’s a fine day, uh-huh -

Oh, Mary, Mary quite contrary -
She says she loves me
Then she hates me
And I try to make it up
And I try to break it up
And I ride the merry-go-round,
Ride the merry-go-round -
Nobody there to stop it
And I can’t get off it, uh-huh.

Well, it’s a fine day at the asylum -
It’s a fine day, uh-huh -

Well, I think about, I think about Henry -
Henry, he do just what he pleases
‘Cos he thinks he’s Jesus -
He speaks in riddles
But y’know he looks just like him -
Tries to walk across, walk across the river -
They always fish him out from the dirty water -
From the dirty water -
From the dirty water -
But y’know there was this one time -
Y’know there was this one time
Henry almost made it.

about

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
