Give Us a Ring (feat. Beverley Martyn)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well now, what’s the food like, have you slept well?
And do the bugs bite other people?
And did the banker give you money?
And I saw on the postcard that you wrote it
On a beach or on your pillow
Or on a book or something stiff
Give us a ring when you get back
Try to bring me something back
With the customs there
Make sure you don’t get caught
With the things that you bought
Jeffrey, he bought a cactus for the kitchen
And the rabbit’s been complaining
And we sat out on the lawn
Well now, I have to go to catch the postman
'Cause I'm going to the pictures
Lots of love, I bet you’re brown
Give us a ring when you get back
Try to bring me something back
With the customs there
Make sure you don’t get caught
With the things that you bought
Give us a ring when you get back
Try to bring me something back
With the customs there
Make sure you don’t get caught
With the things that you bought
Give us a ring when you get back
Give us a ring when you get back
Give us a ring when you get back
Give us a ring
Don’t get caught
