Cracker - Take me Down to the Infirmary

Kerosene Hat (1993) 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 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 is as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdelene 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

I suffered severe depression and anxiety. Fought it all my life. Never gave up. But sometimes this song helps bleed the poison out through tears.

They have a new album: Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey. The single "Turn on Tune in Drop out with Me" is posted here on YouTube.

I've listened to this song for 15 years, on and off, when times are bad, when things are low, brings a tear to my eyes more often than not... as someone else said.. "helps bleed the poison out through tears". Amazing band.
