This track has a bit of history compared to most of my other doodles.
I was working on the rhodes bit for my version of Ciggi’s sultry “night nurse” against the Joe and the six million dollar man TV show theme took over. The side tracked result is here. The full rhodes samples can be found here
The beats and train horn stabs are The Joe and the tasty guitar licks are a re pitched version of Admiral Bob.
All though Cig’s samples remained unused, I felt compelled to include her in the sample attributions because I really just reinterpreted and fiddled with her lyrics a tad. Changed the POV to the patient and did my best attempt at an early Bowie vox (after listening to a lot lately)
Hope you like.
Pella up shortly.
Be sure to check out “ how I did it” for the gory details

Here’s the words, compliments of the red hot Ms Burns after my fiddling;

It’s a hot night
and the sleepless hours
they sift away…
The Earth is creaking on its axis
spinning for the day
I long for that cool breeze
as light as chiffon
in my bed I lay
oh night nurse

The night breathes under diamond stars
the scent of jasmine
hum of distant cars
ummmm Night Nurse
I toss and turn,
my sheets a wreck
I need an iced water
a temperature check!
oh night nurse

Oh Night Nurse,
on a midnight call
Night Nurse,
got to give you my all
Night Nurse,
to feed my desire
Night Nurse,
set my pulse to fire

Night Nurse
Night Nurse

(here she comes)

I hear the twelve-eleven train
to London Waterloo
my thoughts in tunnel
hairs on end
now I’m longing hard for you
When you draw the curtain
its for certain
you will ease my pain
your my mistress of remedial acts
prescription X
don’t know your name

Oh Night Nurse,
on a midnight call
Night Nurse,
got to give you my all
Night Nurse,
to feed my desire
Night Nurse,
set my pulse to fire

oh night nurse

My health insurance has been paid
it doesn’t cover getting laid
a change of sheets
with starch and pleats
I need your love
till sunrise came
I itch and turn
begin to learn
that maybe your not mine
where do you spend those hours
beyond my powers?
Another boy with needs like mine?

Oh night nurse
night nurse
oh night nurse
night nurse
