    Lyrics
    I've got too much energy to switch off my mind,
    but not enough to get myself organized.
    My heart is heavy - my head is confused,
    And my aching little soul - has started burning blue!
    I can't give you up, till I've got more than enough.
    So infect me with your love -
    Nurse me into sickness. Nurse me back to health.
    Endow me with the gifts - of the man made world.
    When desire becomes an illness instead of a joy,
    And guilt a necessity that's gotta be destroyed.
    I can't give you up, till I've got more than enough.
    So infect me with your love -
    Nurse me into sickness. Nurse me back to health.
    Endow me with the gifts - of the man made world.
    Take me by the hands and walk me to the end of the pier.
    Run your fingers through my hair,
    and tell me what I wanna hear -
    Will lies become truths in this face of fading youth
    from my scrotum to your womb, - your cradle to my tomb.
    I can't give you up, till I've got more than enough.
    So infect me with your love -
    Nurse me into sickness. Nurse me back to health.
    Endow me with the gifts - of the man made world.
    Nurse me into sickness, nurse me back to health
    And tell me what it is that I want in this world!!

    One of my favorite artists of all time! if you want to give your sound system a good work out try the 12 inch extended mix of slow train to dawn, Infected is a classic album and track. I'm so pleased I got to see them play live especially that Johnny Marr was in the line up. Matt said recently he was working on new material for a The The Album. Can't wait !

    Fun video to rewatch. Loved most albums and saw them playing live at the now gone Reunion Arena in Dallas, sharing the stage before Depeche Mode. I also recall seeing Mark walking with their back then Dallas drummer, on St. Marks (NY). Brilliant sound, from that album Heartland is still of of my favorites.

    1988 or 1989 I was in high school working at a local top 40 radio station and just discovered The The through this very song. That radio station had a 12" remix on vinyl, I made this song 30 minutes and practically played the entire 12" forward and backwards. The joys of reel to reel multi track recording. Edit: for the record, the top 40 radio station never played this song.
