And A Bang On The Ear

Lindsay was my first love, she was in my class,
I would have loved to take her out, but I was too shy to ask;
The fullness of my feeling was never made clear,
But I send her my love, and a bang on the ear.

Nora was my girl when I first was in a group,
I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup;
Now she's living in Australia, working as an auctioneer,
I send her my love, and a bang on the ear.

Deborah broke my heart, and I the willing fool,
I fell for her one summer, on the road to Liverpool;
I thought it was forever, but it was over within the year,
I send her my love, and a bang on the ear.

The home I made with Bella became a house of pain,
We weathered it together, bound by a ball and chain;
It started up in Fife, it ended up in tears,
I send her my love, and a bang on the ear.

Krista was a rover, from Canada she hailed,
We crossed swords in San Francisco, we both lived to tell the tale;
I don't know now where she is, oh, but if I had her here!
I'd give her my love, and a bang on the ear.

So my woman of the hearth fire, harbour of my soul,
I watch you lightly sleeping, I sense the dream that does unfold;
You to me are treasure, you to me are dear,
I'll give you my love, and a bang on the ear.
