Fine State Of Affairs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I had my wheels in motion
Never did you think of me
Fine thing, fine state of affairs...
If I had my mind in motion
Never would I think of you
'Cause it's my fate, fine state of affairs
No one cares, no, no
You're not supposed to want nobody
Not supposed to need nobody
(Nobody... Nobody cares)
You're not supposed to touch nobody
(Nobody cares)
Don't you dare go love nobody
Ooh I miss the real exciters
Anything with anyone
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs... ooh yeah
Lining up for fast one-nighters
When the final show was done
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs
No one cares, no, no
You're not supposed to touch nobody
(Nobody cares)
Not supposed to love nobody
Fine state, state of affairs
Fine state, state of affairs
