Are You Receiving Me? Lyrics by Ralph McTell

Eight Frames a Second

0

I stopped a man the other night
Said, "Isn't it a beautiful sky"
And although he agreed it was just to please me
I could tell that by the look in his eye
And his look got bolder looking over his shoulder
At me as he quickened his step
So I didn't take his hand as I had planned
I threw a stone instead
And went
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
There's a house I know where roses grow
I was there the other day
And I seen this chick coming down the road
She was coming my way
So I picked a rose and stuck it under her nose
She said, "What about my hay fever"
Then this man came out and he started to shout
He wasn't very happy either
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
A little while ago one Saturday night
I was happy and drunk as could be
A policewoman come up and she said
That night that the cells would sober me
I said, "I ain't be in bars, I got drunk on the stars
You can't pin nothing on me"
Then she smiled and I said "Oh, kiss me instead"
She said "I can't, I'm on duty"
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I was in the park, it was just before dark
And there grows a tree of mine
And I see this girl she was walking her dog
Around the football pitch line
I said "You see that tree well it belongs to me
I'd like to give it to you"
And then she said, "Cheers, although it's been mine for years
It was a very nice thing to do"
I went
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
