Cracker - Take Me Down To The Infirmary Lyrics






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, 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
Walk a sound that's as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdalene 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

    The guy I used to buy Nikes from showed me this song years ago. It took an extra few years to understand. "Nothin but the best for mama Kings boy." I'll always remember those words. Sober up all, we need it. Nothing but the best for your moms.

    I've had this album since the 90's

  7. K.... K....

    Thank you my friend

  8. A.... ....

    Every time I hear this, I can picture everything he's singing in the literal sense: A calm quiet place with a temperature not warm or cold, a gentle nurse, clean white sheets, a nice sniff of whiskey, and a short dose of an opiate. The song makes me sleepy every time. I still have the CD I bought when the album came out... ugh... 25 years ago.

    I remember when I was a teenager I heard low on the radio and I bought the album and everybody made fun of me they said it sucked but it turns out almost every song on that album was a gem
