You Don't Pull No Punches, But You Don't Push the River

(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
