SINGER: The Pogues

SONG:Lorelei

Pogues - lorelei
You told me tales of love and glory
same old sad songs, same old story
the sirens sing no lullaby
and no-one knows but lorelei.
By castles out of fairytales
timbers shivered where once there sailed
the lovesick men who caught her eye
and no-one knew but lorelei.
River, river have mercy
take me down to the sea
for if i perish on these rocks
my love no more i�ll see...
I�ve thought of you in far-off places
i�ve puzzled over lipstick traces
so help me god, i will not cry
and then i think of lorelei.
I travel far and wander wide
no photograph of you beside me
ol� man river�s not so shy
and he remembers lorelei.
River, river have mercy
take me down to the sea
for if i perish on these rocks
my love no more i�ll see.
If i should float upon this stream
and see you in my madman�s dream
i�d sink into your troubled eyes
and none would know �cept lorelei.
River, river have mercy
take me down to the sea
for if i perish on these rocks
my love no more i�ll see.
But if my ship, which sails tomorrow
should crash against these rocks,
my sorrows i will drown before i die
it�s you i�ll see, not lorelei
