St. Augustine's Pears |
| Late one night I heard a knock at the door |
| The boys were really painting the town |
| I was just another bored teenage boy |
| Kickin' up and actin' the clown… Yeah |
| One dare led to another dare |
| Then things were getting out of control |
| We hopped the fence and we stole the pears |
| And I threw away a part of my soul |
| Yes, I threw away a part of my soul (now it’s) |
| Haunting me how I stole those pears |
| 'Cause I loved the wrong |
| Even though I knew a better way |
| Not for hunger or poverty |
| It was more than pears that I ended up |
| Throwin' away… Yeah |
| Time goes by — now I’m old and grey |
| Those pears are just a memory |
| I would gladly pay all I have today |
| But that’s just not the problem you |
| See… ('cause it’s) |
| Bridge: |
| Why do we love all the things that are wrong |
| Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song |
| Why do we do what we don’t want to do |
| When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough |
| Repeat Chorus |
| And I don’t even like pears that well… |
