Lindsay  was my first  love she  was in  my class
I  would have  loved to take her out  but I was  too shy  to ask
The  fullness of my feeling  was never made clear
But  I send  her my love  with a bang on the ear
 Nora was my girl when I first was in a group
 I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup
 Now shes living in australia working for an auctioneer
 But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
 Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool
 I fell for her one summer on the road to Liverpool
 I thought it was forever but it was over in a year (oh dear)
 But I give her my love with a bang on the ear
 The home I made with Bella became a house of pain
 We weathered it together bound by a ball and chain
 Is started up in fife, and ended up in tears (oh dear)
 But I send her my love with a bang on the ear
 Krista was a rover from canada she hailed
 We crossed swords in San Francisco we both lived to tell the tale
 I dont know now where she is oh but if I had her here
 I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear
 So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul
 I watch you lightly sleeping and sense the dream that does unfold (like gold)
 You to me are treasure, you to me are dear
 So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
