It’s A Nickname Songtext
von Syd Matters

One positive reaction
Would be something to think about
Your dramatic distortions
Should be something to talk about

Some productive creation
Would be something to sing aloud
Taking part of the action
Kind of hard from the borderline

Momentary distraction
Understood when you′re down and out
If I'm losing my patience (if I′m losing my patience)
I'm still up for a morning fight (I'm still up for a morning fight)
Hmm-mm...

Taking part of the action
Kind of hard from the borderline


Now I have to take care of you
No more time to thinking
My lover′s on the phone, but I do not know the answer
It′s all I know, I have to catch you
No more life to be seen, my lover's on the pier
Counting the waves
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
It′s a nickname

Momentary distraction ('tary distraction)
Understood when you′re down and out (understood when you're down and out)
One positive reaction (one positive reaction)
Would be something to talk about (would be something)
Earned my money from my heart
Kind of hard from the borderline

How do you walk with a man who likes to keep his eyes closed?
We can barely understand a line along the truth
Hey, would you go with a man who′d like to keep his eyes shut
From the morning to the end of the day?
Hey, would you walk with a man who likes to keep his eyes closed?
We can barely understand a line along the truth
How would you call with a man who likes to keep his windows shut
From the morning to the end of the day?
