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?

Ramones, later redone by the Offspring. I work with someone who isn't too happy that I like the offspring's version better.

Ooooo, that smell! Can't you smell that smell? The smell that surrounds you!

There is a hidden song on My Chemical Romances Black Parade album that I think of everytime that I draw blood but I dont know the name

"Blood,Blood gallons of the stuff never be enough"

I am going by memory

I laughed so hard when i saw this post-I had to share it with some friends who are also laughing uncontrollably.:roll

I meant to add that we had read the post about the "ooo that smell" song. We also had learned from a nurse at clinicals that if we sing the song,"Stayin' Alive" ,in our heads, as we do chest compressions that we will be doing them as fast as we need to. So now everytime I go do that I can't get that out of my head.

"They smile in your face. All the time they want to take your place, the backstabbers. Backstabbers" Dedicated to the co-workers who eat their young and pretend to be your friend. Who sings this one? Anyway, this one sticks in my head. :yeahthat:

I think its the O'Jays....early 70's soul/funk band. I remember it, can sing it, not sure about the band. None of the lyrics engines I can find go back that far. I found out today I'm old enough to be the ER tech's mommy! Where was I when we went and got old!

"I know I can stop the pain, If I will it all away, Don't turn away, Don't give in to the pain, Don't try to hide, Though they're screaming your name, Don't close your eyes, God knows what lies behind them, Don't turn out the light, Never sleep never die" :stone
