Nansy

It seems so long ago Nancy was alone
Looking at the late late show
through a semi-precious stone
In the house of honesty her father was on trial
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 stocking and she sat
with everyone She never said
she'd wait for us although she was alone
I think she fell in love with us
in nineteen sixty-one in nineteen sixty-one
It seems so long ago Nancy was alone
a forty-five 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
See her everywhere Many use her body
Many comb her hair And in the hollow
of the night When you are
cold and numb You hear her
talking then She's happy that
you've come She's happy that
you've come
