    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
    And 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

      She has a book coming out called “Autobiography of a rock star” she is actually a much better performer than Leonard and she was 12 years old in 1961.

    Ho adoratoo anche la versione del grande Faber. Due geni sensibili, che oltre al vuoto della loro scomparsa, ci hanno lasciato in regalo il tesoro inestimabile dei loro capolavori. Riposate in pace e se doveste incontrare Nancy, abbraciatela anche da parte nostra...

      Nancy is the Fat Nancy that Bob Dylan mentions in highwater
      I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat and she said “Take it off the shelf. As great as you are man you will never be greater than yourself” I told her I didn’t really care.
      For a good song about her listen to Chip Taylor’s “Angel of the Morning”
      She has a book coming out called “Autobiography of a rock star” she is actually a much better performer than Leonard and she was 12 years old in 1961.

      That was not true. Leonard is a liar. I don’t even know what he is suggesting by the house of mystery. I have always been with her in the house of love and there is plenty of mystery there. She has a book coming out called “Autobiography of a rock star” she is actually a much better performer than Leonard and she was 12 years old in 1961.

    You're left with deciding whether she died or continued to be a prostitute.
    And he knows he could never fulfill her enough to know the hole in her soul, yet he remained the one waiting for her - regardless of whether she's dead or continued to be a prostitute.
