You haven't quite right, I use also

Hmmm....it's all I've seen. Guess I just happen to have caught only those.
How weird.

I'd suggest The Human Equation by Ayreon Tongue

The music is good, but I especially like the psychological aspects of the story. Voted for BSS, though.

HMMM....Brain Salad Surgery has no medical connotation.

I don't know about that. I always feel much better afterwards.

Let's remain amicable and say, as has been said before....she could be a nurse. Wink

(Although her carrying a cane to punish the child also falls into my theory of a nursemaid) Approve

SD, Nursery Cryme is a play of words for Nursery Rhyme, a tale told by parents or nursemaids to kids.

It's obvious for me that you're right.

But also understand the confusion

I've allways thought the dot (or whatever it is) on her hat was a red cross, but that may just be because the album title makes me think of nurses.

I would say that the woman on "roller skates" in the background could be probably a nurse.

Yes, she looks even more like a nurse than the one in front IMO.

Bloody hell..the one in front you meant? She is a child. Not a maid. Not a nurse, She is "Cynthia"

OK. I apologize for not being that into the lyrics and the story behind the album.

I'm here, on this forum, to share my views about music and, hopefully, learn some stuff about the music that I like, and in this instance I have (thank you, Snow Dog

), albeit in a rather unnecessary strict-school-teacher-to-pupil-manner

I will now sit down and write "Cynthia" a thousand times on a piece of paper.

And BTW, the maid or governess, yes, the one in the back, is wearing an outfit that looks pretty much like a nurse outfit from the late 1800's, early 1900's.

She probably isn't a nurse, but she sure looks like one. To me, anyway.

^In this instance it isn't. But I don't care.

It certainly looks like you do

Sorry if I come across a bit school masterish. I had my mind on mowing the lawn too. But when I said I didn't care, all I meant was that I didn't care why the album was in this poll. I do care for accuracy though. And you'd probably find a nursemaids/ medical nurse/ maid costume all very, very similar back then.

OH...I had no idea you meant the girl was a nurse at first and it came as a bit of a shock to me.Sorry for that. LOL
