Van morrison you don't pull no punches but you don't push the river lyrics

(Da da da....) 

 

 When you were a child, you were a tomboy

 Gimme soul satisfaction

 Way back in shady lane

 Do you remember darlin'? 

 

 And it's the woman in you, and it's the woman in you

 Gimme soul satisfaction

 And it takes the child in you to know

 The woman an' you are one 

 

 We're goin' out in the country to get down to the real soul,

 I mean the real soul, people,

 We're goin' out in the country, get down to the real soul

 We're gettin' out to the west coast

 Shining our light into the days of bloomin' wonder

 Goin' as much with the river as not, as not, yeah, yeah

 An' I'm goin' as much with the river as not

 Yeah, yeah, right, yeah 

 

 Blake and the Eternals oh standin' with the Sisters of Mercy

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece, yeah

 William Blake and the Eternals oh standin' with the Sisters of Mercy

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece, yeah

 You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river

 You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river

 You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river, no, no

 Goin' as much with the river as not 

 

 We're goin' out in the West, down to the cathedrals

 We're goin' out in the West (alright), down to the beaches

 And the Sisters of Mercy, behind the sun

 Oh behind the sun 

 

 And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy looking for the Veedon Fleece,

 Yeah

 You don't pull no punches, goin' west, goin' as much with the river as not

 With the river as not, with the river as not, goin' as much,

 Goin' as much with the river as not, no, ah

 You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river, no

 You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river, no

 You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river, no

 You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river 

 

 And we was contemplating Baba, William Blake and the Eternals

 Goin' down to the Sisters of Mercy

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece

 Looking for the Veedon Fleece 

 

 You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river

 You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river, no

 You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river

 You don't push the river, you don't push the river
