In A Nutshell Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

I′ll may leave you for just a second
Just a second if that's okay
May last a little under an hour
All depends on how long I stay

Only when it′s someone who's close does
Cancer hit you just like a bomb
Must be the only disease on earth
Guaranteed to kill everyone

Watching and waiting
Mistaking the pun
For one that was never intended
Once they assure you, it's all based on fact
You can be sure it′s invented


I′ve got nothing but for tomorrow
No, no don't get me wrong what I mean
It′s not I will be without my clothes but
There you want me well, I'll be free

Wishing and hoping
And hoping and praying
That it will soon stop raining
There′s nothing worse than a cricketer's ball
Stuck in the mud complaining

Oh, I may wake up to find you sleeping
Not in your bed but mine, I know
It′s only a dream but what's wrong with that? (ain't it)
Better than finding you on the floor (ain′t it)
Better than finding you on the floor

In my room, there′s someone sneaking in
Not only that, but there's someone at the door
Will they stop if well, I unlocked the bolt?
In a nutshell
I, I won′t
