Everything But The Girl Sean Lyrics

Sean Lyrics

There's a Belfast girl I loved and lost 

On the rolling hills around my home 

Now she stays home nights behind locked doors 

Since a plastic bullet stopped him 

And he don't come no more 



There's a Belfast boy was loved and lost 

On the crowded streets of his own home town 

Pepper my heart with a lover's words 

And I'll pepper yours with a Getlin gun 



Mother my heart is full of lead 

And it weighs me down and I just can't cry 

Remember me to schoolboy friends 

And tell it as it was, please try 



So come by my boy and sit you down 

There's a tale to hear, a tale to tell this town 

You say the devil will get me some day 

You can tell him I'm waiting 

Cause these are the things I must say 



Mother my heart is full of lead 

And life holds few surprises too 

Tell that to the little ones 

Before they learn to leaugh at you 



Mother my heart is full of lead 

And it weighs me down and I just can't cry 

Remember me to schoolboy friends 

And tell it as it was, please try
