The Hammer And The Bell lyrics

Kelly/Mann)

We twisted you arm over Chinese
And led you astray
Offered the world as we know it
And a pittance in pay
And your fortune read
`Don`t believe a word they`ve said`

Blood through your sleeve, I just couldn`t
Believe that you`d been
To the shop where a prick of a needle
Embroiders the skin
We slept-on all full of drink
Pints of Guiness black as ink

Swung the hammer to ring the bell
The bell climbed up and then it fell
What got said got in-between
Sometimes whispers, sometimes screams

Got drunk with the Butcher at Walsall
On Beefeater`s gin
Took a drag off your very first fag
Four decades in
But the finest hour you gave
When you turned and faced the wave
