[ti: Seems So Long Ago, Nancy]
[length: 03:41]
[00:04.72]It seems so long ago
[00:11.86]Nancy was alone
[00:17.27]Looking at the late, late show
[00:22.65]Through a semi-precious stone
[00:27.86]In the House of Honesty
[00:33.60]Her father was on trial
[00:38.98]In the House of Mystery
[00:44.73]There was no one at all
[00:49.40]There was no one at all
[00:54.16]
[00:57.47]It seems so long ago
[01:03.85]None of us were strong
[01:09.02]Nancy wore green stockings
[01:14.30]And she slept with everyone
[01:20.35]She never said she’d wait for us
[01:25.31]Although she was alone
[01:30.87]I think she fell in love for us
[01:35.81]In nineteen sixty one
[01:41.56]In nineteen sixty one
[01:47.38]It seems so long ago
[01:52.16]
[01:54.49]Nancy was alone
[01:57.73]
[02:00.17]A forty five beside her head
[02:05.20]An open telephone
[02:08.82]
[02:11.13]We told her she was beautiful
[02:15.61]We told her she was free
[02:20.51]But none of us would meet her in
[02:25.78]The House of Mystery
[02:31.60]The House of Mystery
[02:37.65]And now you look around you
[02:44.65]See her everywhere
[02:49.55]Many use her body
[02:54.95]Many comb her hair
[03:00.78]In the hollow of the night
[03:05.82]When you are cold and numb
[03:10.72]You hear her talking freely then
[03:15.93]She’s happy that you’ve come
[03:20.88]She’s happy that you’ve come
