St. Augustine`s Pears Lyrics

St. Augustine`s Pears lyrics

Late one night I heard a knock at the door
The boys were really painting
the town
I was just another bored teenage boy
Kickin' up and actin'
the clown... Yeah
One dare led to another dare
Then things were
getting out of control
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears
And
I threw away a part of my soul
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul (now
it's)
Chorus:
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved
the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin' away... Yeah
Time
goes by - now I'm old and grey
Those pears are just a memory
I would
gladly pay all I have today
But that's just not the problem you
see... ('cause it's)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Why do we love all the
things that are wrong
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
Why do
we do what we don't want to do
When we live with regrets our whole life
through
(Chorus)
And I don't even like pears that well...
