Cover art for My Big Nurse lyrics by David Byrne & Brian Eno

I think the songs ponders the randomness of the universe and how amazing it is that we (human race) are even here:

'A million kinds of possibilities For dancing on this lazy afternoon'

Is there a god in the traditional sense? 'When he shakes the stars above'

'My big nurse' is a ponderous way of looking at the earth. It nurtures us and we don't need fear it: In the comfort of the world.
