Facts
- Jack plays marimba on this song.
- The concept of inserting random bits of noise actually started as an editing mishap - Jack insists on using the most primitive equipment and editing techniques. While cutting the eight-track tape, Jack accidentally sliced the tape prematurely, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Lyrics
The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon When you're helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me" But promises open the door to be broken to me No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill She's to mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill The one that you're trusting suspiciously dusting the sill No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now no I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down
