You're A Nightmare
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.
All day I'm doing fine 'cos there are things to pass the time.
Smoke a cig & drink some tea,
watch a programme on tv.
I just don't care where you are now 'cos I'm sorted out and how I've got it all set up you see,
but when I close my eyes it happens to me.
You're a nightmare and you've made it all wrong,
you're a nightmare to me.
Oh,
you're a nightmare oh and I just can't see why you should keep on happening to me.
Oh yeah.
Oh well it stopped sometime in May whilst you were still away.
Was I in bed or on a bus?
Doing something pathetically ridiculous.
I never noticed it at first,
but when you came back it got worse.
It's the idea of you,
you see.
When I close my eyes it happens to me.
Oh you're a nightmare...(x2).
There were hotel bedroom birthdays,
sleep in factory hallways,
I remember always.
There were hotel bedroom birthdays,
and sleep in factory hallways,
I remember always.
Why do you keep on hanging around?
Can't you see it gets me down?
'Cos when I look at you I see somebody I just don't want to be.
You're a nightmare...(x2).
You're always hanging round.
You're always hanging round.
You're always hanging round
