One Summers Day Lyrics - Artist : Rumjacks, The
They married in the civic hall, avoiding all the rigmarole
A prick of a man we liked to call 'Cock-a-doodled-Andy' Drank a pint o' 'truth-be-told', called the bride a filthy moll There the party lost control and rioted 'til Sunday Toward the quay they went, spewed all o'er the pavement Torched the halls o' Parliament and smashed up all the stores The crusty invalids, the men, the women, the rusty lids All played a game o' busty-heads and settled up old scores Our fathers never taught us nowt can fall into a fist Our mothers never told us there'd be days like this Now we're screamin' at the coppers with a belly full o piss What a helluva way to celebrate yer day Oh I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one summers day "No bottles! No blades allowed" shouted Father Hugh MacLeod Who kissed his beads, blessed the crowd and rolled upboth his sleeves Soon I found me on the toes o' Blackie Anderson Who promised he would put me on me arse before he leaves He gouged an eye, he took an ear to match the one he took the year I took away his Mary dear and made her all me own The right, the left, the hook, he played the fox, I played the chook And I carved him like a turkey to the bone Oh I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one summers day Oh I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one summers day Sticks, stones, broken bones, bleedin' hearts and broken homes All screamin' for the preacher wi' his holy wine and wafer Still the pipes o' war howled away and way before The dust had even settled we were in the mornin' paper By the Merc'n'tile the mob were near collapse When Casey barred the door and kicked the head off all the taps And we pissed away the pain of all the punches and the slaps 'Til the wallopers came to sweep us off the bay Oh I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one... I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one... Oh I love you so, I hope I get to let you know Before they lock my silly arse away Oh I love you so, don't forget to write me tho' And I'll return to you one summers day |
