about

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
