Nancy Tries to Take the Night

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
