And A Bang On The Ear

And A Bang On The Ear

Original songwriter: Mike Scott

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 for an auctioneer

But 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 oh dear

But 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 and ended up in tears

But 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 harbor of my soul

I watch you lightly sleeping and I sense the dream that does unfold like gold

You to me are a treasure you to me are dear

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

Oh

Yeah yeah yeah dee pee dee pee do wo dee pee dee pee do wo

Yeah yeah yeah

Give you my love and a bang on the ear

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

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

I'm giving you my love and a bang on the ear

I'm giving you my love with a bang with a bang

With a bang with a bang with a bang with a bang

With a bang with a bang a bang bang bang bang on the ear
