All day,
I'm doing fine.
'cause 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
'cause 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 oh
You're a nightmare
Oh and I just can't see
Why you should keep on happening to me.
Oh yeah.
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 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 oh
You're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Why you should keep on
Happening
Happening to me
Oh oh oh
And there were hotel bedroom birthdays
Sleep in factory hallways
I remember always.
Yeah there were hotel bedroom birthdays
And sleep in factory hallways
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 whoa you're a nightmare
And you got it all wrong
You're a nightmare to me
Oh 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 oh
You're a nightmare
And I just can't see
Oh why why you should keep on
Happening to me
You're a mightmare
And you've got it all wrong
Oh you're a nightmare to me
Oh oh
You're a nightmare
Oh and I just can't see
Why you're
Why you're
You're always hanging around
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging around
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round
You're always hanging round.
