This song's meaning seems to change a lot. Through most of the song the author talks about a dark turn of mind in a way that I feel as it is bad. He then ends the song with, "And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind." This completely changed the meaning of the song for me, and having a dark turn of mind seemed like it could be bad but is also a blessing. I believe this gives the listener the chance to decide what they think a dark turn of mind means.
I also think the tone of the song changes a lot. The beginning sounds sad and depressing when it says,
"Take me and love me if you want me
Don't ever treat me unkind
'Cause I had that trouble already."
In the middle then, the author says nightmares are lovely even though most people would say they are horrible. It also says, "And leave me if I'm feeling too lonely," which seems kind of sad and like the opposite reaction to the way people deal with loneliness.
