Nancy Tries to Take the Night

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] 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? [Refrain] Mother would you take me Anon, anon For I have nothing, no more baby Nah nah, she's gone, anon [Bridge] 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 Or was it just a dream, she could not tell Oh, but how she wanted [Verse 3] 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 with your legs in the air Smile on your face but it's covered in hair Do you want it? Oh no, do you want it now? [Verse 4] Just imagine a life as a baby and a 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 a cry, "It's not fair" Do you want it? Oh please tell me do you want it? [Bridge] 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 [Refrain] And now yeah Mother would you take me, anon, anon For I have nothing, no more baby She's gone, anon [Outro] 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
