i love the live version of this song. as far as meaning goes, i hate to take the nurse line literally, but i suppose abigail could be taken as a nurse who takes care of the speaker and shows him love during whatever rehabilitation process he is in.
i don't know what the "secret word" could be. but i think the line "for some love you'd fall to break your neck" represents the fragility of the speaker, showing that for some love - probably from abigail's care - he would resort to self-flagellation.
