lyrics

Henry liked to hold my elbow in his open hand
As we'd make our way from an exam.
There was little point in telling Henry how he did;
Twenty seconds later he'd forget.

I have nights when it is hard to sleep
I'll fantasise about having no memory.

Like Mr. Molaison - H.M.
Always remembered by his friends though he never remembers them.
And we have you to thank,
We'd have drawn a blank.
And this country you have served
Has taken your brain and it's now preserved
Sliced up and stored - you really couldn't ask for more.

He'd have dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon too,
At the ripe old age of eighty-two.
But the blood would cloud his glasses so he couldn't see,
Well at least that's what he said to me.

I have nights when it is hard to sleep
I'll fantasise about having no memory.

Like Mr. Molaison - H.M.
Always remembered by his friends though he never remembers them.
And we have you to thank,
We'd have drawn a blank.
And this country you have served
Has taken your brain and it's now preserved
Sliced up and stored - you really couldn't ask for more.

Where it is stored, placed on a board.

We would struggle daily trying to repress the thoughts
Of treating Henry like the family dog.
Even though his name wasn't revealed until last week,
to all of us he was family.

I have nights when it is hard to sleep
I'll fantasise about having no memory.

Like Mr. Molaison - H.M.
Always remembered by his friends though he never remembers them.
And we have you to thank,
We'd have drawn a blank.
And this country you have served
Has taken your brain and it's now preserved
Where it contributes more, as thin slices to be stored,
We really couldn't ask for more.
