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?

Just as I suspected...

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

Okay, more heavy than funny, but My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade"

"Son when

You grow up,

Would you be

The saviour of the broken,

The beaten and the damned?"

Sounds like nursing to me!
