Song lyrics

Send "The Nurse Who Loved Me" ringtones to your cell

Say hello to the rug's topography 
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it 
Say hello to the shrinking in your head 
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it 

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white 
She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys 
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes 
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys 

Say hello to all the apples on the ground 
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping 
Say hello to everything you've left behind 
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it 

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white 
She's got everything I need, some pills in a little cup 
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes 
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys 

She’s got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rugs topography...

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song certainly steps outside the boundaries of what we think of when we think of music by popular/mainstream bands. It is beautiful musically and very challenging lyrically (not to be confused with vocally). I don't know if we're supposed to take the lyrics literally or metaphorically... if literally then it must have been interesting to step into the role of what seems to be a mental patient in love with his nurse. If metaphorically, then it is very open to interpretation.

85 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is amazing. I don't know how anyone could not like it. I was shocked to learn it was a cover song... It fits amazingly with the rest of the album-- as if Maynard wrote it to fit specifically in the slot it filled. The lyrics are entirely metaphorical, I'd say. I'd share my interpretation, but it's rather cheesy. I'll spare you.

82 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song. I think it's beautiful. Somehow, whevever I'm listening to it, and I close my eyes, I think of bright white lights, like the ones in the hospitals. The music also makes me think of the word 'milky'... On the interpretation of the song, I have two views. The literal one: The song is about a mental patient that falls in love with his caring nurse. The metaphorical one: The song is about a white pill of some sort. I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys The pill is refered to as 'she', or 'her'. Say hello to the rug's topography It holds quite alot of interest with your face down on it The rug's topography...It seems like someone passed out from an overdose. Just look at the rest of the lyrics. It just seems like he's talking a pill. But you don't have to listen to blabber... Anyways, this song is relaxing - and Maynard's voice is satisfyingly excellent. I was also surprised to hear this was a cover...It just seems so APC (in a weird sort of way xD). Gotta love it.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this cover blows, just like a perfect circle. they think they can cover failure just cuz failures bassist who had asbolutly no influence in failre happens to be in aperfect circle. Oh boy nothing like basterdizing a great song. Now by association i hate all of you listen to the original. Ken andrews is a god.

54 posts	I love the sound of this song. Altogether, it just sounds good, you know? I've never been good with poetry and all that so I'm still trying to decipher the lyrics to what I think they mean but all in all, I think it's a great song.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Love this song. Had no idea it was a cover til now. It makes me think of 12 Monkeys and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
