Pound Pound Pound (Studio)

Lyrics

[Intro] This song is called "Pound Pound Pound" [Verse 1] I was standing on a corner kicking my heels I had my coat buttoned up beneath my chin I saw in some girl's eyes, she thought I was making deals There was just me and the clock struck out I was looking for someone to scream and shout about So I took a train and I went back home There was no one to tell so I didn't telephone That place is just another big unknown to me That place is just another big unknown to me [Verse 2] The sea made angry faces, the waves were getting high They wеre kicking down onto the front And the cars dodgеd the water that was flooding on by And I just stood there, an orphan fool With the kids smoking chain on their way back from school A tramp got reckless in the center of town He was talking about Jesus as the sun sank down A lifetime of sorrows, he was ready to drown A lifetime of sorrows, he was going to drown [Verse 3] I hit the bar where I used to hang out I spoke to this fellow selling drinks there, dropped a few names He didn't know what the hell I was talking about I put my money down, I shot some pool And I beat two punks, I was feeling cool A couple of girls, they started to flirt But I felt really old when they tugged my shirt I walked back outside as they hurled some dirt at me I walked back outside as they hurled some dirt at me (I know what I'll do now) [Verse 4] I, I went to visit Helen by St. Helen's Park Well, that place used to frighten me but now all I can see Was a couple of wide-boy sharks Flashing their teeth in the small-town dark Huddled myself into the cold That old red brick house, I can find it blindfolded I loved her when I was sixteen She was an old town new brown beauty queen Now I just spend my time filling the gaps in between her and me Now I just spend my time filling the gaps in between her and me [Verse 5] Midnight in the subway, we'd huddle up and laugh When we'd miss the last bus home, we'd just sit there all night And we'd play our guitars until the night-time passed I went there to count some sheep But with the smell of glue, you know, I couldn't sleep I made my excuses to no one, left that town To leave it in the city in the lost and found Where the steps my father walked don't echo around And my mother's voice calling doesn't make a sound And the waves on the shore don't pound pound pound And you're never alone if there's no one around And there's no yesterday to tie you down And as I hit the city, I remember the sound Of the waves on the shore going pound pound pound And the steps my father, they would echo on down The streets, father's streets, still swirling around And the waves on the shore going Pound pound pound pound pound They were going pound pound pound pound I can hear the waves now They're calling back to me, back to me, back to me, back to me Whoo, they were going down, going down town Pound pound, pound pound pound Pound, pound, pound pound pound pound pound [Outro] And I was there, I was standing on the corner I was kicking my heels I had my coat buttoned up beneath my chin I saw in some girl's eyes that she thought I was making a deal
