John Wesley Harding - Pound Pound Pound Lyrics
I was standing on a corner kicking my heelsHad my coat buttoned up beneath my chinAnd I saw in some girl's eyes, she thought I was making dealsThere was just me and the clock struck outI was looking for something to scream and shout aboutSo I took a train and I went back homeThere was no one to tell so I didn't telephoneThat place is just another big unknown to meThat place is just another big unknown to meThe sea made angry faces, the waves were getting highSaw them kicking down onto the frontAnd the cars dodged the water that was flooding on byAnd I just stood there, an orphan foolI saw kids smoking chain on their way back from schoolA tramp got reckless in the center of townHe was talking about Jesus as the sun went downA lifetime of sorrows, he was ready to drownA lifetime of sorrows, I think he was going to drownWell I hit this bar where I used to hang outTalked to the guy behind the bar, then dropped a few namesHe didn't know what I was talking aboutSo I put my money down and I shot some poolBeat two punks, I was feeling coolA couple of girls started to flirtAnd I felt really old as they tugged my shirtAnd I walked outside as they hurled some dirt at meI walked outside as they hurled dirt at meWent to visit Helen by St. Helen's ParkThat place used to frighten me now all I can seeWas a couple of wide-boy sharks flashing their teeth in the small-town darkHuddled myself in the coldThat old red brick house I can find it blindfoldedI loved her when I was sixteenShe was an old town new brown beauty queenNow I just spend my time filling the gaps in between her and meWell I just spend my time filling the gaps that have grown in
