The Attack - Mr Pinnodmy's Dilemma

Cult freakbeat band The Attack deliver the tribulations of a deaf and dumb boy in this strange slice of heavy psych from 1968.

***Lyrics*** - my incomplete approximation, suggestions welcome!

Pinnodmy went walkin'
With his hands for talkin'
He couldn't talk like other boys
Cos' he was deaf and dumb
The kids would all make fun
They'd say his hands were just like toys
He waved his hands to speak
He felt just like a freak
He didn't know no other way
He wished that he could talk
And not use slate and chalk
He didn't have a thing to say

Always walking, people talking, never in his way
He'd like to be just one of them, he'd like to really say
Use his tongue to use his lung, just to make a sound
Without his hand he couldn't stand, he couldn't get around

When all the world is dead
And all tucked up in bed
He would sit alone and cry
Because he waved his hands
They could not understand
So he would stop and wonder why
