[00:00.00]Haunting - The Pogues
[00:43.50]Sit down on that stool hear the can't of a fool
[00:45.10]And a strange tale I'll tell to ye
[00:47.01]Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
[00:48.88]Neath the burial chambers you see
[00:50.79]One Saturday night I get up on my bike
[00:52.47]For go to a dance in the town
[00:54.33]I set off at seven to be there for eleven
[00:56.16]No thought of the rain coming down
[01:00.68]I pushed up the hill the rain started to spill
[01:02.49]So for shelter I had to resort
[01:04.37]Helter skelter I went as downhill I sped
[01:06.08]To the trees at the old fairy fort
[01:07.94]I pulled up my bike be a tree in the gripe
[01:09.69]To find shelter out of the storm
[01:11.59]The rain it came down
[01:12.34]And like stones beat the ground
[01:13.27]But it was grand to be dry in that storm
[01:29.85]I was dreaming away about better days
[01:31.48]When a voice it says dirty old night
[01:33.37]I fell over me bike I got such a fright
[01:35.04]When the ghostly voice bid me the night
[01:36.96]I jumped up with a start
[01:37.87]Gave the storm not a thought
[01:38.75]As the hail beat a rhythm on me
[01:40.59]And I stared at the tree
[01:41.49]That had spoken to me
[01:42.32]Not a body was there I could see
[02:14.21]I trembled and shook the tree twisted and booked
[02:15.94]As the wind got into a scream
[02:17.79]And I grabed for me bike in that devil's owned night
[02:19.76]Expecting to wake from a dream
[02:21.45]The voice I had heard not another word said
[02:23.17]As the hair on the head stood on me
[02:25.05]And I said an Our Father
[02:26.00]As I peddled much faster
[02:26.98]Away from that ghost haunted tree
[03:29.57]For weeks and weeks after
[03:30.57]With nerves a disaster
[03:31.44]Nowhere near that road would I go
[03:33.12]And from dusk through the night
[03:33.92]I would shake with the fright
[03:34.91]Of the tree that had haunted me so
[03:36.71]Now whenever I go to a dance in the town
[03:38.45]I make sure not to stop on the way
[03:40.36]To be there for eleven
[03:41.40]I still leave at seven
[03:42.20]But I go be a different way
