    Story Behind the Song
    This song is about a man going insane because of work/stress, who one day realizes he can escape society by doing something just slightly out of the ordinary, like throw a "paper aeroplane". It universalizes this need to opt out of the world when things get to be too much.

    The chorus: "If I threw paper aeroplanes, then I could live in hospita

    Lyrics
    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital

    My neck aches so bad on the crowded train
    And all these people gonna drive me insane
    Swarming all over the ground
    like a hill of ants
    And any one could kill you just like that

    And I don't wanna be here on
    this planet anymore
    There's nowhere you can be where they
    won't come looking for you in the end

    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital

    All you can do is beat them to it
    And top yourself before they murder you
    Their evil eyes and vicious words
    Are all around and it makes me mad

    And I wish I were seven foot tall
    And built like a brick shithouse wall
    But even then there's always someone
    who's bigger
    Who's waiting to get you in the end

    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital

    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital


    And the nurse comes in and says
    Hello Mr. Rathmell would you
    like a cup of tea
    I say oh yes please nurse
    Settle back and smell the roses by my bed

    And she's in love with me
    And she's in love with me
    I know that she's in love with me
    I feel so happy I think I'll watch some TV

    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital

    If I threw paper aeroplanes
    Then I could live in hospital

    Would Mrs. Wilson report to reception please
    Wilson
    Reception
