Lyrics for Sweet and Tender Hooligan - John Peel Session, 12/2/86

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan He said that he'd never, never do it again And of course he won't, oh, not until the next time He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan And he swore that he'll never, never do it again And of course he won't, oh, not until the next time Poor old man, he had an accident with a three-bar fire But that's okay, because he wasn't very happy anyway A poor woman, strangled in her very own bed as she read But that's okay, 'cause she was old And she would have died anyway Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan Because he'll never, never, never, never Never, never do it again, not until the next time Jury, you've heard every word, so before you decide Would you look into those motherly eyes? I love you for you, my love, you, my love You, my love, you, my love Jury, you've heard every word, but before you decide Would you look into those motherly eyes? I love you for you, my love, you, my love I love you just for you, my love Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan Because he'll never, never do it again And in the midst of life we are in death, etc Don't forget the hooligan, hooligan Because he'll never, never do it again And in the midst of life we are in death, etc Etc., etc., etc., etc In the midst of life we are in death, etc Etc., etc., etc., etc In the midst of life we are in debt, etc Just will you free me? Will you find me? Will you free me? Will you find me? Will you free me, free me, free me Free me, free me, free me? Jury will you free me? Will you find me? Will you free me? Will you find me? How will you find me, find me, find me Find me, find me, find me, find me? Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc Etc., etc., etc., etc In the midst of life we are in debt, etc Oh, oh
