Lyrics

I, I know a girl
And she flies right off the handle
At the sound
Of scratching on the wall
Well It could go either way
But I don't mind at all

Cos I'll go, I'll go and I'll go to Liverpool
Uh, oh, oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road Lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where she gets her name

Oh my lady
My lady clear your ears now
And open up your eyes
We're all out of synch now
And we no longer harmonise

And if lust and despair
Are two bullets in the same gun
Well we've been playing Russian roulette
For far too long

So I'll go. I'll go, I'll go
Well I'll go back to Liverpool
Uh, oh, oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road Lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where she gets her name

Yes often as we lie on the altar of the morning
Well I call up to the sky
light my way
And I promise I'll believe

I'll go, I'll go
I know I'll go to Liverpool
Uh, oh, oh
Well I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road Lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where she gets her name

You see I,
I know a girl.
And she flies right off the handle
Always at the sound
Of scratches on the walls
It could go either way
But I don't mind at all

Cos I'll go, No I'll go. I'll go
I know I'll go to Liverpool
Uh, oh, oh
Yes I know I'll be loved there
She's no scrubber
She's my Breck Road Lover
And we wash in dirty waters
And walk the streets where she gets her name

We walk the streets where she gets her name
