A Nurse’s Life is Full of Woe Lyrics by Billy Bragg

Talking with the Taxman About Poetry

0

To live forever in your stupid dream
And face the ignominy that old age brings
Looking up in your heart, but I think you know
That a nurse's life is full of woe
But Jimmy Quail in another town
They shift it up and they push you around
If you find it’s hard, you should think you so
That a nurse's life is full of woe
She was in this fetid lie
This is not the way that I would choose to die
I wish you were ever in my heart
And I miss you in heaven to this day
And I wonder how you find it out
And you're looking up and you’ll lock me out
'Cause you know in your heart if you want to go
For a nurse's life is full of woe
To live forever in your stupid dream
And facе the ignominy that old age brings
Looking up in your heart, and you'rе ever so
That a nurse's life is full of woe
Do you believe any children survive?
I wonder if you wanna stay alive
And I wonder if you feel this gift
If you have to work a thirty-six hour shift
But I wonder now when you'll understand
When the woman in white comes to take your hand
And you put your heart, and I think you know
That a nurse's life is full of woe
That a nurse's life is full of woe
