And a Bang on the Ear (Extended)

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 within 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

Is started up in Fife, it 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, her bourn of my soul

I watch you lightly sleeping, I sense the dream that does unfold like gold

You to me are treasure, you to me are dear

So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear

And a bang on the ear
