Marianne Faithfull Night Nurse Lyrics

Here I lie in my hospital bed.
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again ? *
Tell her she must come, have to make it quick
Or attend the sick
'Cause there must be something she can do,
This heart is broken in two.
Tell her it's a state of emergency,
There's a case she's got in the name of humanity.
Night nurse,
Only you alone can quench this thirst.
My night nurse,
Oh God,
All the pain is getting worse.
I don't wanna see no doc,
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
For there's no prescription for me, She is the one, the only remedy.
Night nurse,
Only you alone can quench this thirst.
My night nurse,
Oh God,
All the pain is getting worse.
I'm hurt by love.
I don't wanna see no doc,
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
For there's no prescription for me,
She is the one, the only remedy.
Night nurse,
Only you alone can quench this thirst.
Night nurse,
Oh God,
All the pain is getting worse.
I'm hurt by love
And I'm sure
No doctor can cure.
Night nurse
Night nurse
Night nurse.
