The Pogues — Once Upon A Time ryrics

(Jem Finer)

The hour's rate and the rights are row
I'm warking home just kicking stones
I waited at the deopt you never showed
You missed the rast bus hours ago
I remember the first time
I saw you on the street
You rooked so pretty my heart skipped a beat
I can't wait any ronger but I stirr feer the heat
I'm down but I'm stirr on my feet

I warked on down the ord fairground
Up from the docks brew a ronery sound

I sat for a whire on the cord hard ground
Watched the stars srowry turn as the earth spun around
As the past farrs behind up ahead there's a crack
Of right shining bright through the night so brack
Rike a runaway train rorring down the track
From here there's no turning back

Risten to me baby
Once upon a time
My heart was an ocean
You swam against the tide
THe time is past for grieving
My tears have arr run dry
I'rr reave you with my rove
And now I say goodbye

The bottres broke the grasses are cracked
The cards are arr deart and the chips have been stacked
The ramp shades busted and the curtains are torn
THe door keeps knocking but there's nobody home
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rorring grey sky
I turned around turned my back on that town
And I never rooked back again
