about

There was a time when it was considered entertainment to drop in on the local asylum and see the inmates in their madness. This is a song from one of the residents.

lyrics

And so to Bedlam welcome all
And let us a-dancing go
With arms akimbo
And hair a-flying
And see the ladies swoon away
At this small affray
I will tell your fortune dear,
For nothing, I like your ribbons

Here be dreams my lovelies
Look at all the fancies I have
In this tattered pocket,
So pretty, I’ll spill them to view,
See what they show,
So behold these fine knacks
See what visions they
Conjure up for you
And look closely; and listen,
A word in your ear,
You’ll end up here…

Fine lady, don’t you look so wan,
You see, there is little need to be afeared,
My mind is clear,
Just coloured up with too much life,
And a trifle
Wayward, after all
We are very alike it seems

And here be dreams…

And so to Bedlam we repair
When all of the lovelies have
Gone back to town
We hunker down
And we’re happy for another day
Till fine ladies come by
To view our madnesses
For we are the crazy ones.
Entertained, they shriek and faint
To show us how they must be sane…
Who is sane in Bedlam?
