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
