Van Morrison - You Don't Pull No Punches But You Don’t Push the River lyrics

When you were a child, you were a tomboy
Your 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
Give me soul satisfaction
And it takes the child in you to know
The woman and you are one

We're goin' out in the country
To get down to the real soul
I mean the real soul people
I'm talking about 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
I'm goin' as much with the river as not
Blake and the Eternals standin' with
The Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece

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

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
Down to the beaches
And the Sisters of Mercy behind the sun
Behind the sun
And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
You don't pull no punches, goin' west
Goin' as much with the river as not

You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
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
