lyrics

Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare

I trod on the kitten’s tail
Has not talked to me for days
She just pads about with claws out
And her funny, feline ways
And this love, love, love, love
Crazy love
Will shorten my days

Now I’m playing with the birds
In a game I just cant win
‘Cause the distance from the border
To the border is so thin
And this love, love, love, love
Crazy love
Is doing me in

Ah, but Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare wasn’t real
And Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare was akin
To feeling all dried
All inside
When the water creeps in

I took all my pretty things
And I put them in a box
Then I left them down the bottom
Of the garden for the fox
And this love, love, love, love
Crazy love
Is right on the rocks

Ah, but Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare wasn’t real
Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare was akin
To feeling all dried
All inside
When the water creeps in

And what’s a dog supposed to do
Now that he’s done his tricks for you?
And you tell the poor mutt: ‘More’
And push his nose into the floor

How’s a guy supposed to feel
Now that you’ve broken on your wheel
All the things that we held dear?
Perish the thought, give in to fear

Pinned her down the other day
On a matter of the heart,
She admits she put the taper
To the paper for a start
And this love, love, love, love,
Crazy love
Is off of the chart

Ah, but Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare wasn’t real
Mrs. Gilbert’s Nightmare was akin
To feeling all dried
All inside
When the water creeps in

And what’s a dog supposed to do
Now that he’s done his tricks for you?
And you tell the poor mutt: ‘More’
And push his nose into the floor

How’s a guy supposed to feel
Now that you’ve broken on your wheel
All the things that we held dear?
Perish the thought, give in to fear
