Patrick is a 1978 Australian horror film directed by Richard Franklin and written by Everett De Roche. It is the pivotal movie of respected Australian director Richard Franklin's career.
Patrick (Robert Thompson) lies in a coma in a Melbourne private hospital. He had murdered his mother and her lover three years ago by electrocuting them in the bath. Patrick, who has psychokinetic powers, falls in love with Kathy (Susan Penhaligon), the new nurse at the hospital, communicating with her via an electric typewriter. Patrick also uses his psychokinetic powers to control the men in Kathy's life and to defend himself against the hospital's bitter Matron Cassidy (Julia Blake) who plots to murder him.
The film was nominated in three categories, including Best Film, at the 1978 AFI Awards. Franklin also won the Best Director prize at the prestigious Sitges Fantasy Film Festival in Spain.
The Encyclopedia of Fantasy notes the similarity between the movie's plot and that of the novel Tetrasomy Two by "Oscar Rossiter" (non de plume of Dr. Vernon H.Skeels (1918-2007) ).
Patrick my primitive painter of art
You will always and ever be near to my heart
I will never cross water, never cross sea
We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me.
The things that we have are all that we need
You have your painting, and I like to
Read books by people of feeling, someone sincere
They remind me of you and what we have here.
Patrick my primitive painter of art
You will always and ever be near to my heart
I will never cross water, never cross sea
We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me.
If in our lifetime we find peace of mind
We'll remember the bad days that we left behind
Thinking only of love and what it can bring
You paint songs for the children, a song we'll always sing.
Patrick my primitive painter of art
You will always and ever be near to my heart
I will never cross water, never cross sea
He was a stranger in london at night
And he felt alone so he followed a light
Into a bar where the music was loud
He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd
He asked a girl if she wanted to dance
She turned up her nose and she told him "no chance!"
He felt rejected and stood by the wall
And wondered why he'd ever bothered at all
He missed his family and wished he was home
With all of those strangers he felt so alone
Patrick don't be afraid
You'll live to laugh another day
Patrick don't be afraid
The cavalry is on the way
He stood in silence, looked round for a while
Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled
Then he went over and started to talk
She looked a bit like his sister in cork
He bought her a drink with his last two quid
When he said "come back for a coffee" she did
Patrick you've got it made
You're halfway there, you're on your way
Patrick she's not afraid
And now I bet you're glad you stayed
Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed
She showed in the centre of patrick's room
She was lit up from the inside and out
Oh he was enchanted as she moved about
She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone
And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone
Patrick don't be afraid
You've won the girl and saved the day
Patrick you've got it made
The girl's not going to run away
Patrick don't be afraid
The cavalry is on the way
Patrick you've got it made
Don't mess with Patrick
you'll get your face kicked
you'll get your head split
you mess with Patrick
People think he's undercover
you might think he's just another...
freak decked out in normal cloths
you'll get a busted nose
Don't mess with Patrick
you'll get your face kicked
you'll get your head split
you mess with Patrick
Neponset neighborhood landscape
You loomed larger than most
Owned scholastic and academic achievements
All which you did boast
The world was in the palm of your hand
When you went backdoor on school and friends
Drink, drugs, fighting fast lane life
Grew big chips on those imposing shoulders
[Chorus]
Take it back Patrick
Where is the kid that I once knew
Such a young sick kid
Where is this lifestyle taking you
Look at what booze did
The insanity breaking you
Take it back Patrick
Put in choice dry out spots
But you always broke out
Claimed they didn't know your reality
Loaded with self doubt
Jump back on the pain train
The ride will be different this time
Denial express closes to a stop
Your death, the end of the ride
[Chorus]
You can claim ignorance
Once the reaper comes
Because you got told about the cure by your drink doctor
Go back on the bright, straighten up your life
To you we do implore a second shot at this tonight
Saw you lying there, beaten at town field
With an unshakeable angry frown and requisite bottle
That won't happen to you, you were once the ace
A field's corner kid that the booze just knocked right out of place
Take it back Patrick
Lazarus runs out of time
Such a young sick kid
Without reason or a rhyme
Look at what booze did
A family left beyond the wake
Take it back Patrick
Is this what you wanted?
With your match to catch and burn me down
with your type of answers?
It's just how you say it
Patrick, well is it time?
He'll watch from the window
Is this what you wanted?
(Is this what you wanted?)
It started off like this.
(I know you know)
Will you go when it's time?
I know you can light the match
(I know you know)
(Patrick, you'll go when it's time)
to burn me down
I know you know what.
I'll fold, I'll forget.
Will you?
Is this what you wanted
Now and again through your ears I'm listening.
It's just impossible to get your attention.
And it always comes down to just how you say it.
Come home.
When I promise
let down
but would you let me go if the time was right
(We will leave this option for you)
It started off like this
Will you go when it's time?
(I know you know)
I know you can light the match
(I know you know)
Will you go when it's time
to burn me down
I know you know what.
I'll fold, I'll forget.
Will you?
(to burn me down)
I won't come home but
I know you know what
I'll fold, I'll forget
Will you?
Would you go if the time was right?
(burn me down don't forget to)
Would you go just say you would want to take me.
take me, please take me, please take me
(This fire is almost out)
Would you go if the time was right?
(this time we fall)
Would you go?
Just say you want to take me.
take me, please take me.
And burn me down
I know you know what.
I'll fold, I'll forget.
Will you?
I won't come home but
I know you know what.
I'll fold, I'll forget.
Will you?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Now everything is such a bust
Wish there was something I could have done
No one should have to die so young
Here we lay you down to rest
As we try to get through this mess
Remember you, I'll never stop
It's all I've got
I know what our friendship meant
Right from the start, I always knew
I swear I won't forget you
It's not the same without you here
The days with you are all too clear
We'd do the things we used to do
Now I'm just trying to pull through
There's something I think you should know
I hate to have to see you go
And even though you had to leave
Your memory is still with me
Now that you're gone it's safe to say
With you along we had it made
It's sad to see it end like this
I guarantee you will be missed
I never got to say goodbye before you disappeared
But I'll scream it loud enough so maybe you can hear
I know what our friendship meant
Right from the start, I always knew
I swear I won't forget you
It's not the same without you here
The days with you are all too clear
We'd do the things we used to do
Now I'm just trying to pull through
There's something I think you should know
I hate to have to see you go
And even though you had to leave
