STRANGE HOUSE

The touchy subject of mental illness this time, everybody knows someone who has suffered from it in various degrees, but thank god they don't use those old cure methods any more, the health service is a lot better on care these days but there is still a heck of a lot to learn! Many people who remembered their feelings during an episode of mental illness say they thought everybody else was acting strange and they lost all sense of time and place, like a bad dream, and imagined things and disembodied voices seemed very real. Dementia patients usually lose all their memory but retain early childhood memories, the foundation blocks of the brain.The song is the final track to be finished for the "Folk of Oak" album due out soon!Guitar - C&T,Amps - Fender, Orange Micro Terror, Ampeg BassDrums - Roland TD-12 ElmBass - Violin style BassSound effects - Freesound.orgI'M IN A STRANGE HOUSE, WITH STRANGE PEOPLELET ME GO NOW, LET ME GO NOW.IN A STRANGE ROOM, IN A STRANGE TOWN,TAKE ME HOME NOW, TAKE ME HOME NOW.I WAS WONDERIN', HOW I GOT HERE,IT'S A STRANGE WORLD, IT'S A STRANGE WORLD.WHERE AM I NOW, WHERE AM I NOW,IT'S A STRANGE WORLD, IT'S A STRANGE WORLD.CHORUS - AND FROM WHERE I STAND THINGS DON'T LOOK VERY BRIGHT.FROM WHERE I STAND DON'T KNOW IF IT'S DAY OR NIGHT.I GOT NO PAST HERE, GOT NO FUTURE,LET ME GO NOW, LET ME GO NOW.I REMEMBER, ALL MY CHILDHOOD,TAKE ME BACK THERE, TAKE ME BACK THERE.WHY THE PEOPLE, ACT SO STRANGELY, IN THIS STRANGE WORLD, IN THIS STRANGE WORLD.TAKE YOUR PILL NOW, TAKE YOUR PILL NOW,IT'S A STRANGE WORLD, IT'S A STRANGE WORLD.CHORUSI GOT NO PAST HERE, GOT NO FUTURE,LET ME GO NOW, LET ME GO NOW.I REMEMBER, ALL MY CHILDHOOD,TAKE ME BACK THERE, TAKE ME BACK THERE.WHY THE PEOPLE, ACT SO STRANGELY, IN THIS STRANGE WORLD, IN THIS STRANGE WORLD.TAKE YOUR PILL NOW, TAKE YOUR PILL NOW,IT'S A STRANGE WORLD, IT'S A STRANGE WORLD.CHORUSI'M IN A STRANGE HOUSE, WITH STRANGE PEOPLELET ME GO NOW, LET ME GO NOW.Words and music copyright Steve Trowbridge February 2014From forthcoming album "Folk of Oak"due out soon.

Money ...root of all evil!
They're on the streets in Watford Steve inc me!
What happens to care first ,then worry about who pays for it?
Never mind they can now afford 90k for traffic lights
That get removed in a week instead, far better use of the funds
Don't ya think?

Cool song song !

Many thanks guys! UJ in the UK mental health care depends on which borough council you live in, my one's pretty good but there are a lot of poor councils robbed of govt. funding but a lot of private sharks out there for those with plenty of cash.. (-:

Huh. Good one, Steve. Lyrics ring true and sad. Mental health care in the US is in a sorry, sorry state.
