Pogues lyrics : "A Pair Of Brown Eyes"

One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang

Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox johnny sang
About a thing called love

And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky

I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around

Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see

Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me


And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes


I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him

While ray and philomena sang
Of my elusive dream
I saw the streams, the rolling hills

Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me

So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze

So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old c!@#^

And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing


And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
