Day 82: A Song you listen to when you are sad

Once again, a wonderful song by Cracker. one of my all time favourite bands. Take Me Down to the Infirmary. Once again, I advise everyone to a) buy all their records b) check out their homepage and c) attend their gigs whenever possible

Take me down
to the infirmary
lay me down
on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth
on my forehead
lay me down
and let me sleep

I know the whiskey won't soothe my soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart
but if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.

So, take me down
to the infirmary
walk a sound that is as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdelene won't you fetch the
doctor's flask.
He is going to need a steady
a steady hand

I know the whiskey it won't soothe my soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart
but if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.

So, take me down
to the infirmary
lay me down on cotton sheets
put a damp cloth on my forehead
lay me down let me sleep
lay me down let me sleep

And here is a live version:
