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 too 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 for 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 a year

I send her my love and a bang on the ear

Inst.

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

Inst

So my women of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul,

I watch you lightly sleeping, I snse the dream that does unfold,

like gold

You to me are treasure, you to me are dear

So I'll give you my love and a bang on the ear

Inst
