MISSING YOU In nineteen hundred and eighty six Not much work for a chippie or swinging the pick And you can't live on love, and on love alone So you sail o'er the ocean away 'cross the foam To where you're a Paddie and where you're a Mick Not much use at all bar stackin' the brick And your mate was a spade and he carried the hod Twoe heavy old horses, heavily shod Chorus Oh I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of the flight Oh I'm missing you, under Piccadilly's neon And who did you murder and are you a spy I'm just fond of the drink, helps me laugh, helps me cry And I took to the port for a permanent high Now I laugh a lot less, and I'll cry 'til I die Now the summer is fine but the winter's a fridge Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross bridge And I'll never go home, it's because of the shame Of a misfit reflection in a shop window pane. Chorus So all you young people, take an advice Before crossing an ocean you'd better think twice 'Cos you can't live without love, without love alone Here's the proof 'round the West End In the nobody zone. Chorus (Recorded by Jimmy McCarthy on 'The song of the singing horseman') Recorded by Christy Moore ----------------- Bye - e.b.
