MANNION    

The bare-faced cheek that is Mannion
Is coming to a town near you
He's been singing these songs since Easter now
And the summer is nearly through

Swept off your feet - the feeling's strong
He's been singing the same songs all summer long
And as the sun goes down on an ancient wrinkly shore
Chris sings - A whole lot of loving
And a whole lot bloody more

Hey nonny no, a-roving I'll go
With some cider and a finger in my ear
My true love set sail, never to return
To the show at the end of the pier

The bare-faced cheek that is Mannion
Is coming to a town near you
He's been singing these songs since Easter now
And the summer is nearly through

Twenty seven years, at the waterside
Bleeding hearts to happy ever afters
While the limpet mines swept up with the tide
Chris is left to blow the roof from the rafters

The bare-faced cheek that is Mannion
Is coming to a town near you
He's been singing these songs since Easter now
And the summer is nearly through

Swept off your feet - the feeling's strong
He's been singing the same songs all summer long
And as the sun goes down on an ancient wrinkly shore
Chris sings - A whole lot of loving
And a whole lot bloody more
Chris sings - A whole lot of loving
And a whole lot bloody more
