Ian Dury And The Blockheads Crippled With Nerves Lyrics

Crippled With Nerves Lyrics

I could give her the respect she deserves

But I can't cos I'm crippled
with nerves

Just to take in my arms, hold her tight

But I'm sorry,
I'm shaking with fright



I could touch her

I could tell
her

I'm a very lucky fella

I'd cancel all proper reserves

But
my hope is all gone

Got the fears coming on

And I'll die cos I'm
crippled with nerves



How I wish she'd ask for a smile

She
won't, I tremble a while

She's gone to my luck and my shame

Silly
trying to stifle the pain



Could have touched her

Could have
told her

The weight is on my shoulder

My sadness my purpose
deserves

And the day turns to grey

The pain turns this way

I'll die cos I'm crippled with nerves
