Nancy

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.

It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone

Looking at the Late Late show through a semi-precious

stone

Well, in the House of Honesty her father was on trial

And in the House of Mystery, there was no one at all

there was no one at all

It seems so long ago, none of us were strong

Nancy wore green stockings, she slept with everyone

She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone

I think she fell in love for us in 1961, in 1961

It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone

A 45 beside her head, an open telephone

We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free

But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery

the House of Mystery.

And now you look around you and you see her everywhere

Many theyuse her body and many comb her hair

And in the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb

You hear her talking freely then, she's happy that you've

come, she's happy that you've come

It seems so long ago, Nancy was so alone

Looking at the Late Late show
