We broke up about a year ago 
We split amicably of course 
But I heard about your accident 
You fell off a horse 
Mm-mm-mm I took flowers to the hospital 
When in turn the intern said 
That he'd help me find the room which held 
You and your broken leg 
Hidden by your friends and relatives 
Gathered round your bed 
Ah-ah-ah You had a cast of thousands of signatures 
And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures 
You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee 
I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me 
Do you remember how we met like laughing children 
Or just how clean it ended? 
In the darkened ward at night 
When blinds are all descended 
Now I get a pang of pleasure 
Seeing your leg suspended 
Shame they can't cover us in plaster 
And in six weeks all is mended 
Ah-ah-ah But 
I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit 
When I was young 
I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit 
But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go 
The top floor elevator's just got one arrow 
Why so many bloody looks? 
I'm in the kitchen with too many cooks
