They Talk of Nora’s Badness

They talk of Nora's badness that she go to dance hall and she drink alcohol
With Nettie and Lizzie, Calypso and Peter Paid Paul
Troubled, complicated and constant
Well, how are you in love, art, and crime?
You get in the way of yourself
And you remember the time

So, they talk of Nora's badness that she goes to dance hall and she drinks alcohol
With Nettie and Lizzie, calypsos with Peter and Paul
Troubled, complicated and constant
Well, she in love, art, and crime
She gets in the way of herself
And she remembers the times
He could not bear
To say her name
She changed his when she changed hers

Spread trouble in her wake, like a great ship
Couples fight, milk spoils
Flowers wither and horses kick
Babies cry, light bulbs burn out
Hard drives die when she walks about
Dogs howl and fall to the ground
Bottles break, and drummers quit
Crashing planes shadows, we run under
Don't look up, look up
Don't look up

Troubled, complicated and constant
How are you in love, art, and crime?
You get in the way of yourself
And you remember the times
Spreading trouble in your wake like a great ship
Couples fight, milk spoils
Now get over it
Remember the time, you couldn't say her name
Now look up, look up, just look up
