Intro

Verse

We broke up about a year ago

We split amicably of course

But I heard about your accident

When you fell off a horse

Mm-mm-mm

I took flowers to the hospital

When in turn the intern said

That he'd help me find the room which held

You and your broken leg

Hidden by your friends and relatives

Chorus

You had a cast of thousands of signatures

And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures

You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee

I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me

Verse

Do you remember how we met like laughing children

Or just how clean it ended?

In the darkened ward at night

When blinds are all descended

Now I get a pang of pleasure

Seeing your leg suspended

Shame they can't cover us in plaster

But I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit

When I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit

But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go

The top floor elevator's just got one arrow

(Slow tempo right down)

Why so many bloody looks?

I'm in the kitchen with too many cooks
