Lanegan, Mark - Harborview Hospital Lyrics
I walked by harborview hospital
I heard the agnus dei
Oh sister of mercy
I've been gone too long to say
And all around this place I was a sad disgrace
They're singing, they're singing
Away up on the hill
They're building, they're building
A mystical union, beautiful and still
But down here in the dirt they'll say it doesn't hurt
The devil's ascended
Upon some crystal wings
In the citadel lightning
Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends
They're riding, they're riding
A hellhound down the hill
They're sinking, they're sinking
Into the ocean, beautiful and still
And yet it's hard to leave in wealth or poverty
I walked by harborview hospital
And stopped at ninth and James
Oh sister of mercy
I've been down too far to say
Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?

Oh sister of mercy
I've been gone too long to say
And all around this place I was a sad disgrace
They're singing, they're singing
Away up on the hill
They're building, they're building
A mystical union, beautiful and still
But down here in the dirt they'll say it doesn't hurt
The devil's ascended
Upon some crystal wings
In the citadel lightning
Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends
And with a vacant stare I'll leave a flower there
They're riding, they're riding
A hellhound down the hill
They're sinking, they're sinking
Into the ocean, beautiful and still
And yet it's hard to leave in wealth or poverty
I walked by harborview hospital
And stopped at ninth and james
Oh sister of mercy
I've been down too far to say
Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?
Wow, that's a lot different from what I *thought* the lyrics were:
I walked by harborview hospital
I heard they ache this day
My sister of mercy
I've been gone too long to say
And all around this place was a sad disgrace
They're singing, they're singing
Away up on the hill
They're building, they're building
(?) beautiful and still
They say the vinegar, they say it doesn't hurt
The devil's ascended
Upon some (?)
In the (?)
(?) a cloud of butterflies and feet
And with a vacant stare I'll leave a flower there
They're riding, they're riding
A (?) down the hill
They're sinking, they're sinking
Into the ocean, beautiful and still
Yes it's hard to leave wealth and poverty
I walked by harborview hospital
And stopped at ninth and james
My sister of mercy
I've been down too far to say
Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?
(I had previously listened to the 4AD version mostly.)
Beautiful and super weird lyrics i love them <3
@Jen Anz It's about drug addiction i think... very deep lyrics, the imagery he uses is amazing.
One of his best.
Are they supposed to be, as sick as you and me?
mat11trick best line, very deep

(In Harborview Hospital Andrew Wood rest in peace)

TALENT D UN DUO CHANT ET GUITARE ....... EXEPTIONNEL
Reminds me a little of Echo and The Bunnymen
Here because I discovered Mark Lanegan from Qotsa's "in the fade" ... man that guy has such a great voice!
Harborview,where Andy Wood died
geekrockrats really?
Dreamy. Echoes of the late Stuart Adamson here.
That's right Levi!
Great song! Sounds like Soulsaver's Broken hidden track....
wtf. whats wrong with this version? why are the vocals so far back?
So H.A.T.E.R.S. can hate...
Yup, and so do I!!!!! What a P.R.E.T.T.Y. song!
I've always wondered...WHY is there a dislike button?
Great song, great album. Mark can do anything he fucking pleases.
Oh Mark... I don't like this song. Sorry, you disappoint me. :'( But this album is great.
Blues Funeral is such an amazing album, not a weak song on it, but this is one of the most beautiful. I have been lucky enough to see him perform twice this year, and meet him, and Mark Lanegan is the most self-effacing, genuine guys you could ever meet. A true gentleman and a grunge legend. i feel privileged to have talked to him.
"with a vacant stare,i leave a flower there" that always makes me think of batman in crime alley
so... did you kick his ass or not?
guitars chime, voice spiritual
The canal plus live version is exceptional.
Makes me thinking about another great song: hymn of the big wheel, massive attack
Fantastic song! Amazing voice!
Favorite song on the album. Freakin awesome.
Twas I. I HAVE NO REGRETS.
puff this is great!
@marmelaki shame on them!!
I know who clicked on the "dislike" button :-p
