Metric - Monster Hospital Lyrics






Monster hospital, can you please release me?
You hold my hands down, I've been bad.
You hold my arms down, I've been bad.
I've been bad, I've been bad.

I fought the war but the war won

Monster movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller
And he beat him hands down
Lead in the head
Put a little lead in his head.

I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god.
I fought the war but the war won

    I can't understand why the views aren't higher, innit!

  43. R.... M....

    It's about Jamestown state hospital in nd @spyit_ground evolutionevolve.weebly.com

  44. D.... ....

    So it took Vevo just 3 years to upload the music video (2009) but it took the actual record company 6 years (published on 2012) amazing.

  45. C.... L....

    Scott Pilgrim is how I discovered this awesome band.

    C.... L....

    Clinton Leonard , lol, I used to buy drugs from a guy called Scott Pilgrim.

    C.... L....

    @Ben Smith you just made that movie 10x more amusing for me now, thanks for that 😆

    C.... L....

    I discovered this song while searching for another artist but I misspelled their name and came across this

  46. P.... ....

    I'm not the only one who thinks Metric is boring, right?

    P.... ....

    Paladinfox So if you think they're boring, what the fuck were you doing here?

  47. S.... ....

    Fucking crazy. I was in college when this was out. fuck me sideways

  48. E.... K....

    Hotel or Hospital? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  49. w.... d....

    Just saw stranger things. I think it is uncanny how similar Emily Haines and Winona Ryder look in combination with the wall-effect at 0:52. Wonderful show, wonderful band. probably no connection. haha

  50. M.... B....

    Fantastic song heard this for the 1st time today while running ;-)

  51. R.... C....

    What a song!!

  52. R.... M....

    I love that Babylon is on her T-shirt...how many understand he wonders...

  53. J.... D....

    I fought the war... I fought the war but the war won - stop, for the love of God!... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

    J.... D....

    The lyric is actually, "I fought the ward", but I've always liked it better as "war".

    J.... D....

    actually it is war.

    J.... D....

    OMG! When did it start? With Russia, China, North Korea, who?

    J.... D....

    @Robert Caple i like your interpretation. :)

    J.... D....

    @Tori Thanks! With a song called "Monster Hospital", and "please release me..." etc., I though "ward" made more sense. That, and somewhere at some point I read (or watched, can't remember. Would have been around 2006) that she wrote and recorded the lyric as "ward", but liked it as "war" also after seeing it transcribed incorrectly so many places. For all I know, she sings it as "war" now, seeing as the forever war seems to be a permanent fixture of US foreign policy now.

    Fun fact: the band is from Toronto, and the members are all very active in Canadian alt. rock, however the core group are all US nationals who all moved to Canada.

  54. M.... ....

    Stop, for the love of God.....love that line.

  55. J.... i....

    holy fuck how am i just seeing this now even though i listened to this album on repeat since 2012? this is amazing and i relate to this so much!

  56. c.... ....

    metric is so underrated ;_;

    c.... ....

    super underrated

    c.... ....

    much better than standard.

    i hate fractions...

  57. J.... W....

    I love all that blood coming out of nowhere

    J.... W....

    who dat giilrl

  58. L.... D....

    Love it!

  59. j.... k....

    Great song, great video! I'm going to have to check out her other videos.

  60. D.... G....

    Tormented!

  61. B.... T....

    I fought the law, and 
    the law won


    no one els? really?

    B.... T....

    These people trying to correct to war lol
    Guessing either they don't understand or are trying to say its completely unrelated
    But yes I thought this when the song first came out. When I first heard it all I could think was how much it sounded like a slight twist on the lyrics from the clash.

    B.... T....

    EstharFalcus, here's the actual lyrics:
    Monster hospital, can you please release me?
    You hold my hands down, I've been bad.
    You hold my arms down, I've been bad.
    I've been bad, I've been bad.

    I fought the war but the war won

    Monster movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller
    And he beat him hands down
    Lead in the head
    Put a little lead in his head.

    I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god.
    I fought the war but the war won

    B.... T....

    Ken Feldman, yes, they are the lyrics for this song. A song which has a very obvious reference to another song which is what we are talking about here (the reference being to The Clash's song "I Fought the Law")
    You don't need to post the lyrics for this song as it does not show anything about this song not being a reference to The Clash, which a lot of people picked up on.

    B.... T....

    From your post I thought your comment "These people trying to correct to war lol" was that people misinterpreted the word "war" and actually it was "law", hence my posting of the lyrics.

    Side note, Bobby Fuller did a cover version of "I Fought the Law" in 1966, and he is referenced in the Metric lyrics "Monster movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller". Originally recorded by the Crickets in 1960 but it never went anywhere. The Clash did their version in 1979.

    B.... T....

    I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god!

  62. T.... ....

    That scream at the beginning sounds like the girlfriend in Stan by Eminem.

    T.... ....

    Is just an sound effect, anyone can use it, and i recall that song too :D

    T.... ....

    @ThereIsNoDog96 Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that.

  63. S.... M....

    They fought the war 32 times.  Yes, I counted.

  64. �.... �....

    Там своими руками рот закрыла
