Here At Homerton Hospital

Intro Verse Steve is from Basildon, he's a hospital porter His shift starts in the middle of the night He rides in to work on a motorbike He doesn't talk much to the patients But he gets them where they need to go He gets on with all of his collegues though Like that surgeon in the templar ward Who always says hello That surgeon is called Dan He grew up in Gloucester Ever since he was young, just wanted to help everyone He was destined to be a doctor He met his girlfriend Rena here at work She's a physio And she was born in Egypt In a small town south of Cairo She came to England as a teen with a busted knee And when they fixed her up for free She knew exactly what she wanted to be So she learnt the language and the bones and the muscles And studied really hard for the qualifications And not long ago got her first placement here at Homerton Hospital She eats her lunch with Jill from reception Jill comes from Swindon, via Jamaica She's a Rastafarian She works the desk at A&E And you won't believe the things that she's seen Or the respect that she has for her team There's a paramedic from Portugal A pharmacist from Senegal A security guard from the Isle of Man And a pediatritican from Pakistan Faces from different places, religions and races All working together under one roof So many walks of life and background stories All coming together for the sick and the poorly Someone's operating and someone's giving birth Someone's holding someone else's hand when they pass They'll stitch you back together and they'll heal the wounds It won't cost you anything at all Here at Homerton Hospital Verse There's an orthadox Jew with Australian flu Getting his blood pressure checked by a girl from Bangladesh There's a kid from the estate, got himself in to a state And now a Polish nurse put his arm in to a cast And poor uncle Terry slipped in to a coma Now he's being looked after by Nula from Rowanda And everyone makes jokes about the hospital food But to tell you the truth, it's actually pretty good And that's down to the chef who comes from Marrakech Makes a killer sherpard's pie and feeds hundereds of patients Every single night Faces from different places, religions and races All working together under one roof So many walks of life and background stories All coming together for the sick and the poorly Someone's operating and someone's giving birth Someone's holding someone else's hand when they pass They'll stitch you back together and they'll heal the wounds It won't cost you anything at all Here at Homerton Hospital Outro So if you wonder how the world might work while being multicultural Come and pay a visit to Homerton Hospital
