Nancy Tries to Take the Night

歌詞

There's a time and a place and the place, it is now Take the smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow And you're frolicking 'round, your legs are in the air There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair Do you want it? Do you want it? You run through the streets like the whore that you are And you hope pretty soon you'll be struck by the car But the light of the day tries to keep you afloat While there's pain in your stomach and there's pain in your throat Do you want it? Do you want it? Mother, would you take me? Anon, anon For I have nothing, no more baby, nah nah She's gone, anon I tried to take the word and what you said I tried to take the word but the word was dead I did not want it And in the light of day it all seemed well Oh, was it just a dream, she could not tell But how she wanted There's a time and a place and the place it is now Take that smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow When you're frolicking 'round, legs in the air There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair Do you want it? Oh no, but do you want it now? Oh, just imagine a life with a baby and wife What the times would look like, when compared to the knife But the money's not there so you sit in despair Curse at the sky with the cry, "It's not fair" Do you want it? No, no, please tell me, do you want it? 'Cause the rapture of the autumn eve lead to a fate no-one believed Taking to the table where she wrote, she held herself a vote A vote between the good and bad, with all she'd seen and all she'd had Nancy tried to take the night, but now she's gone removed from sight and now, yeah Mother, would you take me? Anon, anon For I have nothing, no more, baby No, no, she's gone, anon If I could take it back now, would I take it back now? If he could take it back now Would he take it back now? Nancy took the night and she's gone anon
