Sweet And Tender Hooligan Lyrics

     he was a sweet and tender hooligan
     and he swore that he'd never, never do it again 
     and of course he won't (not until the next time)
     poor old man 
     he had an "accident" with a three bar fire
     but that's OK
     because he wasn't very happy anyway 
     poor woman
     strangled in her very own bed as she read
     but that's OK
     because she was old and she would have died anyway
     DON"T BLAME
     this sweet and tender hooligan
     because he'll never, never do it again
     (at least not until the next time)
     So jury you've heard every world
     but before you decide
     would you look into those "Mother-me" eyes
     I love life for you my love, you my love
     you my love, you my love
     So jury you've heard ever word
     but before you decide
     would you look into those "Mother-me" eyes
     I love you for you my love, you my love
     I love you just for you my love, you my love
     don't blame
     the sweet and tender hooligan
     who claims that 
     "In the midst of life we are in debt ETC"
     ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!
     IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEBT ETC!
