Shane MacGowan & The Popes The Song With No Name
Long years ago I fell in love With a lady proud and fair So passionate were she and I We made fire in the air I loved her more than life itself She loved me just the same And it broke my heart To think we'd part If she ended the affair But I was brutal, I was ignorant, I was cruel, I was brash I never gave a damn about the beauty that I'd smashed No sadist I, I found delight in making my love cry Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her To be lashed and crucified And now I fear this lady fair Can never more be mine Long gone are nights in my lonely bed All suffering and crying And though I fear that through this life She'll call me only friend 'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave My love will never end
