Texty: Shane Macgowan And The Popes. The Song With No Name.

Long years ago I fell in love
With a lady proud and fair
So passionate were she and I
We made fire in the air

I loved her more than life itself
She loved me just the same
And it broke my heart
To think we'd part if she ended the affair

But I was brutal, I was ignorant
I was cruel, I was brash
I never gave a damn about
The beauty that I smashed

No sadist I, I took delight
In making my love cry
Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her
To be lashed and crucified

And now I feel this lady fair
Can never more be mine
Long gone are night in my lonely bed
All suffering and crying

And though I fear that through this life
She'll only call me friend
'Till I'm dead and buried in my grave
My love will never end
