I was smashed totally fucking smashed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I longed for sleep but qualified only for nausea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a break between stations I did sleep <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I awoke a nurse was holding my hand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are very ill my friend please return with me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I live in Le Havre not far from the station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not remember how I got there <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I ended up in her apartment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was sitting on her bed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a smell of coffee in the air <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s undress I will undress you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are unable to undress yourself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not remember much after that
The room was smaller than I remembered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I drank a bottle of sparkling water <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which made my hangover much worse <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The apartment was empty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having been recently vacated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was coffee on the stove <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My nurse had left a note <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saying that she would return at two <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She did not expect me to stay <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I was welcome to do so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was raining heavily outside <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I corrected the bed and sat by the window <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the damp air was making me feel better <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My nurse returned at two with a couple of rolls
Why did you help me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was hopelessly drunk <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not about you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was being followed by a foreigner <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I was very scared <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a foreigner <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are tall and look tough <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My assassin soon got the message <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not have been able to defend you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was not my concern <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theatre worked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see I am a nurse<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see many people like you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did we <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did we what<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wanted to fuck but vomit is not attractive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You spent the night in my arms <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is all <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where do we go from here <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is for you to decide
