Billy S Shirts lyrics

Shirt`s on fire, church on fire
Billy`s dream boat stills as the house alights
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight
But the harbour thrills pull back from the light
To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight

Holler
Pleasures of the night
Seaman`s delight

Holler
(refrain)
Pleasures of the night
What a sight
Oh no, the organ plays by itself
It doesn`t need the grinder`s help and the monkey
And the monkey stow away to sea
Back to his wife and a nest in the trees

Billy`s brother plays bass in a band called Man
He fancies himself as a travelling ham
Strutting and fretting them into fame
In a torn T-shirt he`ll carve his name

Holler
(refrain)
Looking for adventure and some mystery
He doesn`t need the grinder and he doesn`t want me

Stripped off his suit
So let the poor beast be
Oh, let the poor beast be

The man said,
