Nightmares, oh nightmares, come on now,
Getting my days all wrong now,
Risen from prison an outlaw,
spending our time in the lion's jaw,
In the end you sink or swim,
I'm eager! Eager!
Loving more loving, come on now,
socially biting your tongue now,
run down old run down old houses,
feeding the cats to the mouses
[Chorus:]
Oh, take aim now,
oh take aim now,
can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now,
oh take aim now,
gotta get us outta here
Drop them and give them star prizes,
lock them away in high rises,
held off and called on by truncheons,
rattling keys to the dungeons
[Chorus]
Love take me over,
I bid you all farewell,
I got to leave,
Tears on my shoulder,
Switch me off today.
[Chorus]
Love takes me over,
I bid you all farewell,
I got to leave
