Lyrics
I wish there was a pub called The Sir Tommy Shovel It’d be lovely Lovely it would be We’d go for a pint And a cauliflower cheese And find somebody who agrees With everything you say Every single day I wish there was a pub called The Sir Tommy Shovel He’d never grovel A noble man was he And there we would be With Sir Tommy’s portrait Dimly painted on a varnished board That hangs above the door Just beside the outsize trout On the saloon bar wall And I would drink responsibly And hold you like the angel In the dark abandoned silo of my soul Let’s meet in a pub called The Sir Tommy Shovel It won’t be no hovel, ‘twill be lover-ly And we’ll have a groove And a vegan ca**erole High above the gaping hole Inside my memory Of all you mean to me I come by night And I go by stealth Oh let us drink Sir Tommy’s health And I would drink responsibly And hold you like the angel In the dark abandoned silo of my soul Hold you like the angel In the dark abandoned silo of my soul I will not be drinking in The Racist Loser It’s not my kind of boozer
