Song lyrics that remind you of nursing...

Published

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?

Give Me Novacaine--Green Day

Take away the sensation inside,

Bittersweet migraine in my head,

It's like a throbbing toothache,

Of the mind,

I can't take this feeling anymore

Drain the pressure from the swelling,

This sensation's overwhelming,

Give me a long kiss goodnight,

And everything will be all right,

Tell me that I won't feel a thing

So give me novacaine

Out of body and out of mind,

Kiss the demons out of my dreams,

I get the funny feeling and that's all right,

Jimmy says it's better than here

Drain the pressure from the swelling,

This sensation's overwhelming,

Give me a long kiss goodnight,

And everything will be all right,

Tell me that I won't feel a thing

So give me novacaine

Drain the pressure from the swelling,

This sensation's overwhelming,

Give me a long kiss goodnight,

And everything will be all right,

Tell me Jimmy, I won't feel a thing

Give me novacaine
