Story of a marriage torn apart by a major illness.
Lyrics and Music © By Pete Dowan (SOCAN) NEVER MIND HIM 1st VERSE: Started off like every other day Though this time she didn't see him wave His struggle to the window was in vain, he smiled despite the pain "She's primping in the rear view once again" She still looked like a model half her age Time never turned her page 2nd VERSE: Afternoon appointment went quite well Doc said he was almost back from hell He stopped his daughter's new van at the light, And then he saw his wife The tow-truck pulled her car up to the right He leaned across to speak then heard her voice Above the engine noise CHORUS: NEVER MIND HIM HE'S USELESS NOT THE MAN I SHARED MY YOUTH WITH THERE'S A STORY BUT IT'S MUCH TOO LONG AND GRIM. THOUGH HE'S THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN THE DISEASE THAT ALMOST KILLED HIM LEFT HIM JUST A FRACTION OF THE MAN HE'D BEEN NEVER MIND HIM. 3rd VERSE: Jammed it into gear and drove away Nausea came on wave after wave It didn't take a brain to figure out who that was all about He tried to give her benefit of doubt But nothing could erase all that he'd heard It echoed word by word CHORUS: NEVER MIND HIM HE'S USELESS NOT THE MAN I SHARED MY YOUTH WITH THERE'S A STORY BUT IT'S MUCH TOO LONG AND GRIM. THOUGH HE'S THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN THE DISEASE THAT ALMOST KILLED HIM LEFT HIM JUST A FRACTION OF THE MAN HE'D BEEN NEVER MIND HIM. BRIDGE: Doctor met the family at the hospital "Don't know what went wrong he'd come so far Just this afternoon mentioned a second honeymoon It's like there was a sudden change of heart " CHORUS: NEVER MIND HIM HE'S USELESS NOT THE MAN I SHARED MY YOUTH WITH THERE'S A STORY BUT IT'S MUCH TOO LONG AND GRIM. THOUGH HE'S THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN THE DISEASE THAT ALMOST KILLED HIM LEFT HIM JUST A FRACTION OF THE MAN HE'D BEEN NEVER MIND HIM.
