You're A Nightmare


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


All day I'm doing fine
`Cos there are things
To pass the time
Smoke a cig and 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

Well it stopped some time 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
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening

And there were hotel bedroom birthdays
Sleep in factory hallway
I remember always
Yeah there were hotel bedroom birthdays
And sleep in factory hallway
I remember always

Why do you keep on hanging round
Can't you see it gets me down?
Because when I look at you I see
Somebody I just don't want to be

Oh you're a nightmare
And you got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare
And you just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Yeah you're a nightmare to me
Oh, you're a nightmare and I just can't see
Oh why why you should keep on happening to me

You're a nightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Oh you're a nightmare to me
Oh you're a nightmare
Oh and I just can't see
Why you're always hanging around
You're always hanging round
