The Move
The song tells the story of a mental patient and how his mind perceives his experience within the clinic. It is said that the song is based off the founding member of The Move Ace Kefford who left due to his mental health and attempts at suicide.
(It was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that they'd signed some
Papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that I'd gotta
Have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think it's because
Because I was going off my...)
...head!
Suddenly from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my bed in deep maroon
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away
In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday I keep asking for my dad
They must think I'm going mad
Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "what a scene"
Write a letter to the queen
Asking her if she can come to tea
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away
Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away
