lyrics

Hello your through to NHS
Hello your through to NHS
Can I start by taking your telephone number?
Can I call you back on that number?
Can I take your postcode?
And the number of your house?
I had no idea how to take upon this phone call
As every phone call is recorded I have to act accordingly
Mental health issues
Suicidal's
How can I help?
Your through to NHS
How can I help?
Suicidal you say!?
You've taken how many tablets!?
You've drunken how much liquor!?
Well that's not gonna do it!
Calling me up with your cry for help
If you were really gonna do it you wouldn't call me up
15 year old girls calling up
Cutting there arms - self harm
Maybe its a cry for help? Or to grab attention?
Anyhow I tried to help them
I put on my compassionate voice
Compassionate tones
I spoke to them like a friend
As I heard them moan
The took comfort in my voice
And called me by my name
Like I knew them
But I knew, they were really insane!
All these filtered calls seem insane!
Rudeness- Unkindness
And when I try to help, but they blame
I don't like to be pessimistic!!
I like to be nice...
I like to be optimistic
With an open mind
But the whole damn country has fallen behind
And it seems so unkind even at the best of times
