Billys Shirts — текст песни (james)

Shirts on fire, church on fire

Billys dream boat stills as the house alights

Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight

But the harbour thrills pull back from the light

To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight



Holler

Pleasures of the night

Seamans delight



Holler

(refrain)

Pleasures of the night

What a sight

Oh no, the organ plays by itself

It doesnt need the grinders help and the monkey

And the monkey stow away to sea

Back to his wife and a nest in the trees



Billys brother plays bass in a band called man

He fancies himself as a travelling ham

Strutting and fretting them into fame

In a torn t-shirt hell carve his name



Holler

(refrain)

Looking for adventure and some mystery

He doesnt need the grinder and he doesnt want me



Stripped off his suit

So let the poor beast be

Oh, let the poor beast be



The man said, "ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!"

Billys shirts on fire in the night

He said, "ho wee this is too hot to see."

Billys shirts on fire in the night
