The Pogues (1989)
You
told
me
tales
of
love
and
glory
same
old
sad
songs
same
old
story
The
sirens
sing
no
lullaby
and
no
one
knows
but
Lorelei
Castles
out
of
fairy
tales
Timbers
shiver
where
once
there
sailed
The
lovesick
men
who
caught
her
eye
and
no
one
knew
but
Lorelei
River
,
River
have
mercy
take
me
down
to
the
sea
for
if
i
perish
on
these
rocks
my
love
no
more
i'll
see
I've
thought
of
you
in
far
-off
places
and
puzzled
over
lipstick
traces
So
help
me
God
,
I
will
not
cry
and
then
i
think
of
Lorelei
I've
traveled
far
and
wandered
wide
no
photograph
of
you
beside
me
old
Man
River's
not
so
shy
and
he
remembers
Lorelei
River
,
River
have
mercy
take
me
down
to
the
sea
for
if
i
perish
on
these
rocks
my
love
no
more
i'll
see
If
i
should
float
upon
this
stream
and
see
you
in
my
madman's
dream
I'd
sink
into
your
troubled
eyes
and
none
would
know
'cept Lorelei
Oh
,
River
,
River
,
River
have
mercy
take
me
down
to
the
sea
for
if
i
perish
on
these
rocks
my
love
no
more
i'll
see
But
if
my
ship
which
sails
tomorrow
Should
crash
against
these
rocks
My
sorrows
i
will
drown
before
i
die
It's
you
I'll
see
,
not

Mister Trivia
Die
Lorelei,
the
high
cliff
along
one
of
the
banks
of
the
narrowest
point
along
the
Rhine
river
.
The
sharp
currents
and
rough
steering
conditions
(
as
well
as
the
wrecks
they
caused
)
through
this
pass
of
the
river
gave
rise
to
the
myth
of
a
mermaid
or
siren
who
lured
ships
and
their
crews
to
their
doom
.
