A pair of brown eyes

The Pogues

One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless An old man in the corner sang where the waterlilies grow And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love and it's how are you kid and whats your name and how would you bloody know In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed Then prayed and bled some more And the only thing that I could see Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me But when we got back labelled parts one to three There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go For a pair of brown eyes For a pair of brown eyes
