Somehow I always see the nurse as a psychiatric nurse, keeping her patient doped up with (anti-psychotic?)medications; he escapes, but doesn't have the courage to break away so he has to go back. And I wonder about that "little house" - Cave has used this phrase before (in 'Papa Won't Leave You, Henry') to mean a brothel. Maybe the friendly young woman represents the temptations of the flesh?
