Texty: Waterboys. And a 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 to ask
The fullness of my feeling was never made clear
But I send her my love with 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 with 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 in a year, oh dear!
But I send her my love with 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 with 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 with a bang on the ear
So my woman of the hearth fire, harbor of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping
And 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 with a bang on the ear
I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
