Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

[grace90]

Every so often I'll hear lyrics on songs on the radio that remind me of nursing... Here's a couple of examples I've heard on the radio recently, unfortunately I can't remember who sings either of 'em...:monkeydance:

"I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air..."

"I have become, comfortably numb..."

Anyone got any more?

Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi:

"Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what I need. Shake it up just like bad mecidine. There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease."

Who needs sleep by Barenaked ladies:

"Who needs sleep your never gonna get it." for the night shifters since out shift seems to always have interrupted sleep.

3am by Matchbox 20

Hard to handle by the Black Crowes

Alcohol by Brad Paisley (the ETOH pt usually has you wanting a good stiff drink before the end of your shift)

Everybody hurts by REM

Bye,Bye,Bye is actually by N'sync

It's the end of the world I thought was by REM

Purple pills by Eminem and D12 for the pt who says I am (insert the following choices taking,need,allergic,etc) the purple pill.

It's the End of the World... is by REM.

3 am by Matchbox 20 is another good suggestion.

And I always sleep better when its raining. The sound of the rain creates white noise, the room is dark and cool, and my bed warm inviting. I sleep best during rainy days.

Crazy B!tch by Buckcherry

I have no idea why, but every single freaking time I am at work, at some point I get the song "yellow submarine" stuck in my head.

Well, thanks. I just read your post and miraculously, I have Yellow Submarine stuck in my head now.

What about Tenacious D, Weenie in a bottle.

When I started the thread that merged with this one, I was struggling finding diversity in my music selection. My co-workers were asking for more country music and stuff from other genres. Any non-rock songs?

I was in the house when the house burned down

Life'll kill ya

For my next trick, I'll need a volunteer

Don't let us get sick

Spendid isolation

Lawyers, guns, and money

Excitable boy

Searching for a heart

Jungle work

Roland the headless thompson gunner

Mr. Bad example

Poor poor pitiful me

My sh##'s f###ed up (yes it's really a song- maybe written after Warren found out he had lung cancer)

All Warren Zevon (one of my favorite artists) may he rest in peace.

"Learning to flinch" and "Life'll kill ya" albums

[rngreenhorn]

Wasted youth

Life is a lemon and I want my money back

It just won't quit

Heaven can wait

For crying out loud

All revved up with no place to go

Left in the dark

Not a dry eye in the house

Where angels sing

Bad attitude

All Meat Loaf- another favorite of mine

forgive me if I get these lyrics wrong, I'm writing them totally from memory and it's been a long time-

"life it seems to fade away, growing farther every day, I have lost the will to live, I have nothing more to give"- Metallica

That's Fade To Black, classic power ballad from their "Ride the Lightning" album

[McDraw8]

"Go Getta" r kelly and young jeezy. (just how hard nursing is)

[mom and nurse]

An old one "Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles.... One line says "It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog ...it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log"....
