Karaoké A Pair of Brown Eyes The Pogues

One summer evenin' drunk to hell

I sat there nearly lifeless

An old man in the corner sang

Where the Water Lilies Grow

And on the jukebox

Johnny sang about a thing called love

And it's How are you kid and What's your name

And How'd you bloody know

In blood and death 'neath a screamin' sky

I laid down on the ground

And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around

Some cursed, some prayed

Some prayed then cursed then prayed then bled some more

And the only thing that I could see was a pair of brown eyes that was lookin' at me

But when we got back labeled parts one to three there was no pair of brown eyes waitin' for me

And a-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go for a pair of brown eyes

I looked at him

He looked at me

All I could do was hate him

While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dreams

I saw the streams

The rollin' hills where his brown eyes were waitin'

And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me

So drunk to hell

I left the place sometimes crawlin' sometimes walkin'

A hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a talkin'

And I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal

And the birds were whistlin' in the trees where the wind was gently laughin'

And a-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go

A-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go

And a-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go for a pair of brown eyes

For a pair of brown eyes

And a-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go

A-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go

And a-rovin', a-rovin'

A-rovin' I'll go for a pair of brown eyes

For a pair of brown eyes
