You Don't Pull No Punches

But You Dont PushTue River
Lyrics by V AN MORRISON

When you were a child

You were a tomboy
Your soul satisfaction
Way back in shady Iane
Do you remember darling?
And it's the woman in you
And it's the woman in you
Your soul satisfaction
And it takes the child in you
To know the woman in you are one
We're goin' out in the country
Get down to the real soul
I mean the real soul people
We're goin' out in the country
Get down to the real soul
We're gettin' into the West Coast
Shining our lights into the days of blooming wonder
Going as much with the river as not
Hey yeah right yeah
Blake and the Eternals
Standing with the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
Yeah William Blake and the Eternals
Standing with the Sisters of Mercy
Lookin' for the Veedon Fleece
Yeah
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
No, no goin' as much with the river as not
We're goin' out in the West
Down to the cathedrals yeah
We're goin' out in the West
Down to the beaches
And the Sisters of Mercy behind the sun
Oh behind the sun
And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
You don't pull no punches
Goin' with, goin' as much with the river as not
With the river as not
With the river as not
Goin' as much, goin' as much with the river as not
You don't pull no punches
And you don't push the river...

Bulbs

, Lyrics by V AN MORRISON

I'm kicking off from center field ,

A question of being dowl).Jor the game
The one shot deal don't matter
The other one's the same
And oh IJlY friend
.1 see yoli want you to come through
And she's standing in the sHadows
Where the street lights all tum bfo.e
She's leaving Pan American
Suitcase in her hand
Her brothers and her sisters
Are on Atlantic sand
She's screaming through the alleyway
I can hear her cry in hue
And her batteries are corroded
And her 100 watt bulbs all blew
They used to hand out down at the in place
Every weekend they got loose
They said it was a straight clear case
Of havin' takin' in too much juice
It's inside and it's outside
Not part of any guise
But all you gotta remember is
After all, it's all show biz

And we were contemplating

William Blake and the Eternals
Goin' down to the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece ...
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river ...

Well she's screaming through the alleyway

I can hear the lonely cry
Why can't you
And she's standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And she's standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And she's standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all tum blue

Lyrics by VAN MORRISON

I wanna comfort you

I wanna comfort you
Just let your tears run wild

Like when you were a child

l'll do what I can do
I wanna comfort you
You put the weight on me
You put the weight on me
When it gets too much for me
When it gets too much much, too much forme
I do the same thing that you do
And I'll put the weight on you
I'll put the weight on you
And I'll do the same thing that you do
I'll put the weight on you
I wanna comfort you
And I wanna comfort you
Just let your tears run wild
Like whe.n you were a child
I'll do what I can do
I just wanna comfort you

Cul DeSac

Lyrics by V AN MORRISON

In a cul de sac
Soft smooth eider down
Relax yourself
And take your rest
lt's been much too long
Since we drifted in song
Lay you down awhile
And hide away
A trifle far
The nearest star
And Mount Palomar
And we don't care
Just who you know
lt's who you are
And what you are
And when they all go home
Down the cobble stone
You can double back
To a cul de sac
You can double back
To a cul de sac

Country Fair
Lyrics by V AN MORRISON '

We stood and watched the river flow

We were too young to really know
In the country fair
Oh in the country fair
We laid out in the long green grass
And never thought that it would pass
In the country fair
Oh in the country fair
On an old open day
On an old rain checked open day
In the country fair
In the cool night air
In the sweet summertime
We counted pebbles in the sand
Sand-like time slipping through our bands
In the country fair
On an old open day
On an old rain checked open day
In the country fair
In the cool night air
In sweet summertime
On that old pine cone open day

Streets Of Arklow
Lyrics by VAN MORRISON

And as we walked through the streets of Arklow

Oh the colors of the day were on
And our heads were filled with poetry
And the moming a coming on to dawn
And as we walked through the streets of Arklow
In gay profusion, in God's green land
And the gypsies rode with their heads on fire
They say we love to wander
Lord we love, Lord we love to roam
And as we walked through the streets of Arklow
In its raging beauty rolling back to the day
And I saw your eyes
They were shining sparkling crystal clear
And our souls were clean
And the grass did grow
And our souls were clean
And the grass did grow
And as we walked through the streets of Arklow

Linden Arden StoleThe HighHghts

Lyrics by V AN MORRISON

Linden Arden stole the highlights

With one band tied behind his back
Loved the moon and sun
. And whiskey ran like water in his veins
Loved to go to church on Sunday
Even though he was a drinkin' man
When the boys came to San Francisco
They were lookin' for his life
But he found out where they were drinkin'
Met them face to face outside
Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet
Lord he was a drinkin' man
And when somebody tried to get above him
He just took the law into his own bands
Linden Arden stole the highlights
And he put his fingers through the glass
He had heard all the stories many many times before
And he did not care no more to ask
And he loved the little children
Like they were his very own
You say some day it may get lonely
Now he's livin', Hvin' with a gun

Come Here My Love

Lyrics by VAN MORRISON

Come here my love

This feeling has me spellbound
It's a story line in paragraphs laid down to sing
In fathoms of my inner mind
I'm mystified oh by this mood
This melancholy feelin'
That just don't do no good
Come here my love
And I will lift my spirits high for you
I'd Iike to fly away
And spend a day or two
Just contemplating flelds and leaves
And talking about nothing
Just laying down
In shades of effervescent
The effervescent odors and shades of time and tide
And falling thru become enraptured
By the sights and sounds
And intrigue of nature's beauty
Come along with me
And take it all in
Come here my love

Who Was That Masked Man

Fair Play

Lyrics by V AN M ORRISON

Lyrics by V AN MORRISON

Oh ain't it lonely
When you're livin' with a gun
Well you can't slow down
And you can't turn around
And you can't trust anyone

Fair play to you

Killarney's lakes are so blue
And the architecture I'm taking in with my mind
Is so fine
Tell me of Poe
Oscar Wilde and Thoreau
Let your midnight and your daytime
Turn into love of life
It's a very fine line
But you've got the mind, child
To carry !t on
When it's just about to be carried on

You just sit there like a butterfly

And you're all encased in glass
You're so fragile
That you just may break
And you don't know who to ask
Oh ain't it lonely
When you're livin' with a gun
Well you can't slow down
And you can't turn around
And you can't trust anyone
You just sit there like a butterfly
You're well protected by the glass
You're such a rare collectors item
When they throw away what's trash
You can hang suspended from a star
A wish on a toilet roll
You can just soak up the atmosphere
Like a fish inside a bowl
When the ghost comes 'round at midnight
Well you both can have some fun
He can drive you mad
He can make you sad
He can keep you from the sun
When they take him down
He'll be safe and sound
And the hand does fit the glove
And no matter what they tell you
There's good and evil in everyone

And there's only one meadows way to go

And you say Geronimo
There's only one meadows way to go
And you say Geronimo
A paperback hook
As we walk down the street
Fill my mind with tales of mystery
Mystery and imagination
Forever fair
And I'm touching your hair
I wish we would be dreamers in this dream
Oh, oh let it be
Fair play to you
Killarney's lakes are so blue
Hi ho silver
Tit for tat
And I love you for that
Hi ho silver ,
Tit for tat
And I love you for that
