Seems So Long Ago, Nancy

Lyrics

It seems so long ago
 Nancy was alone
 Looking at the late, late show
 Through a semi-precious stone
 In the House of Honesty
 Her father was on trial
 
 In the House of Mystery
 There was no one at all
 There was no one at all
 ♪
 It seems so long ago
 None of us were strong
 Nancy wore green stockings
 And she slept with everyone
 She never said she'd wait for us
 Although she was alone
 I think she fell in love for us
 In nineteen sixty one
 In nineteen sixty one
 ♪
 It seems so long ago
 Nancy was alone
 A forty five beside her head
 An open telephone
 We told her she was beautiful
 We told her she was free
 But none of us would meet her in
 The House of Mystery
 The House of Mystery
 ♪
 And now you look around you
 See her everywhere
 
 Many use her body
 Many comb her hair
 In the hollow of the night
 When you are cold and numb
 You hear her talking freely then
 She's happy that you've come
 She's happy that you've come
