Cover art for The Nurse Who Loved Me lyrics by Failure

you guys are not looking deep enough, and jackrules is most definitly wrong. If there is a point illustrated by the album "fantastic planet" it is displaying the similarities between a romantic relationship and drug addiction. the songs stuck on you and nurse (also being the most famous on the album, stuck on you being a big failure single and apc covering nurse) point this out the most clearly. The verses of the song obviously refer to haulicinations and delusions via the abuse of drugs. the chorus is about the nurse whom he loves. this nurse isnt a person, it is heroin incarnate. greg was an addict and ken at least dabbled. they feel like they truly are in love with heroin, to everyone else, all the other guys, its just a habit, a meaningless addiction, a nurse.

apc didnt write 13th step around this song. maynard and ken go way back. tool toures with failure, apc tours with year of the rabbit, maynard sang on silly love songs for the replicants. theyre buddies. the song certainly does fit though.
