Truths of Old

I don't know why, but this song's been running through my head all day.

Post call, and post coming down with the most vile (they always are) upper respiratory tract infection, and post getting four hours of badly interrupted sleep (nurse : doctor, we need a plug set NOW for iv mannitol...
doctor : nngaah? whaa...? It's... five...am... its not due for an hour, can't you wait two for the day doctor?
nurse : No.
doctor : what happened to the old one?
nurse : patient pull out.

sometime later

doctor : did you pull out your plug?
patient : no the nurse took out, said it was leaking.

at bloody five in the morning?! when the drug round is at six?? what kind of person wakes someone else up for that?!?!)

i've been wandering around the hospital in a bit of a daze singing it softly to myself. And earning a lot of funny looks from random passers-by.

Yes, I know I'm putting my obscurity at risk, but what the hey seeing as how the national nutplane completely destroyed it at the blogger convention (thank goodness there weren't that many people around) I figure it can't get any worse.

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
