Eyes Of Josephine

from Pretty Little Troubles by Malcolm Holcombe

/

lyrics

the eyes o' josephine

chorus
a pint er two in belfast
burns the eyes o' josephine
an irish girl forever curls
around your heart o' glass

shattered blowin' into town
shattered goin' back
the nightshift calls your council
a pitence in your pockets

the wretched poor o' poison blood
the government the hospital
they snitch and laugh and never smile
straight jackets for the crooked mile

chorus

i walk and stagger to your eyes
the phenobarbital at night
we locked you up and shut the door
your brain is scattered on the floor

quick to turn the hollow spurns
a gapin' hole o' lonesome
a pint er two in belfast burns
the eyes o' josephine

chorus

when darkness breaks the northern lights
and rapsody is killin' time
a brazen bastard blessed be
burns the eyes of josephine

chorus
