Hospital Beds Lyrics


There's nothing to do here
Some just whine and complain
In bed at the hospitalComing and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospitalTell me the story
Of how you ended up here
I've heard it all in the hospitalNurses are fussin'
Doctors on tour
Somewhere in IndiaI got one friend
Laying across from me
I did not choose him
He did not choose meWe got no chance of recovery
Sharing hospital, joy and misery
Joy and misery, joy and miseryPut out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on usPut out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on usBring the buckets by the dozens

Bring your nieces and your cousins
Come, put out the fire on usVietnam, fishing trips
Italian opera
Vietnam, fishing trips
Italian operaI got one friend
Laying across from me
I did not choose him
He did not choose meWe got no chance of recovery
Sharing hospital, joy and misery
The joy and misery, the joy and misery
The joy, the joy, the joy, miseryPut out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on usPut out the fire, boys
Don't stop, don't stop
Put out the fire on usBring the buckets by the dozens
Bring your nieces and your cousins
Come, put out the fire on us

Cold War Kids are an indie rock band from Fullerton, California, USA. The band members are Nathan Willett (lead vocals, piano, guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar, vocals, percussion), Matt Maust (bass guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums). According to Songfacts, Matt Maust came up with the band's name. He was inspired by a trip to Eastern Europe where he came across a big park where they'd dumped statues that had been removed after Communism fell. Within the park he found a playground and being in that environment the phrase 'Cold War Kids' popped into his head.

The band started in historic downtown Fullerton in Jonnie's apartment above the restaurant Mulberry St. (their first EP title) in 2004. They are avid supporters of unsigned talent such as the band Electric Furs. They have toured in support of Two Gallants, Tapes 'n Tapes, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sound Team, Muse and The White Stripes. Their music is heavily inspired by artists such as Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground and Johnny Segment. Recently they starred in an MTV2 special titled "Cold War Kids Takeover!" They appeared on Soccer AM and were announced as Norwich City F.C. Fans. They were going to tour with The White Stripes for their Icky Thump tour, but The White Stripes had to cancel.

In 2007, they contributed to OKX, a tribute to the 10-year-old Radiohead album OK Computer, recording their version of the track "Electioneering." Nathan Willett identified Radiohead and the album as a strong influence, saying, "It's the only album that I feel compelled to say way too grandiose things about, that rock journalists have already said plenty: Like that OK Computer is the single most important album to be released during my youth and that it was a rite of passage. But that really is the truth and I have never had an emotional connection with an album quite like I have with this one."

He also explained why the band chose to cover "Electioneering" from the album: "I'm not saying 'Electioneering' is the best song on the album, but (still, a big claim!) it's certainly the most badass. It's lyrically everything we want to do - bursts of concrete imagery."
