Are you receiving me

ARE YOU RECEIVING ME ?

Ralph McTell

I stopped a man the other night
Saying isn't a beautiful sky
And although he agreed it was just to please me
I could tell that by the look in his eye
And his look got bolder looking over his shoulder
At me as he quickened his step
So I didn't take his hand as I had planned
I threw a stone instead.

And went la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

There's a house I know where roses grow
I was there the other day.
And I seen this chick coming down the road
She was coming my way
So I picked a rose and stuck it under her nose
She said, "What about my hay fever".
Then this man came out and he started to shout
He wasn't very happy either.

La, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

A little while ago one Saturday night
I was happy and drunk as could be.
A policewoman come up and she said
That night the cells would sober me
I said I ain't be in bars I got drunk on the stars
You can't pin nothing on me
Then she smiled and I said "Oh, kiss me instead".
She said "I can't I'm on duty".

La, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

I was in the park, it was just before dark
And there grows a tree of mine.
And I see this girl she was walking her dog
Around the football pitch line.
I said "You see this tree well it belongs to me
I'd like to give it to you".
And then she said "Cheers although it's been mine for years
It was a very nice thing to do".

I went la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
