Kilburn & the High Roads
Crippled With Nerves
I could give her the respect she deservesBut I can't cos I'm crippled with nervesJust to take in my arms, hold her tightBut I'm sorry, I'm shaking with frightI could touch herI could tell herI'm a very lucky fellaI'd cancel all proper reservesBut my hope is all goneGot the fears coming onAnd I'll die cos I'm crippled with nervesHow I wish she'd ask for a smileShe won't, I tremble a whileShe's gone to my luck and my shameSilly trying to stifle the painCould have touched herCould have told herThe weight is on my shoulderMy sadness my purpose deservesAnd the day turns to greyThe pain turns this wayI'll die cos I'm crippled with nerves
