This song is about teenage female rebellion
It is a Father upset by his daughters behaviour
lyrics
Nancy
Nancy, I thought that you meant it
I have wasted my hope, Lord I wish I'd never been born
The truth is I am utterly choked, debauched and lost, and vexed as a cat
How can you act so numb, blinkered and huffed
And as cold as the mire
Nancy, I thought that you meant it
I have wasted my hope, Lord I wish I'd never been born
I have raised you since you were a little girl
Now you leave me lost, breathless and grey
And granted, I'll give you up
Lifeless and chopped, and cold as the mire
Nancy, how can you love, when you spit in my face
My wayfaring child
Nancy, I thought that you meant it
I have wasted my hope, Lord I wish I'd never been born

Gonzo. Passion. The Ming Vase. Haunting and beautiful. Every listen brings a new favorite.
Do something like this again, Miss Emma. Please let the answer be yes. Please let the answer be yes! alien9
Hard to pick a favorite from this album: Nixonland, Get Off The Stage, Johnny Thunder, Best Shirt On, Marathon…such a great collection of tuned Dave Nemetz

Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
