Sailors Arms Lyrics - Singles - Doug Anthony All Stars

I met her at the 'Sailor Arms' 

A bar down by the docks 

Full of prostitutes and deviants 

And fellows wearing frocks 

Went there to drown my sorrow 

My misery and paaaiiiiaaaiiiiaan 

With fourteen multicoloured pills 

And a pint of heavy ale 

(heavy ale) 

And I saw this girl across the way 

Who was smiling through the wine 

So I begged her come on over 

Come on over, spend some time 

And I spilled my life before her 

And she seemed to understand 

Although she was a girl 

We were talking man to man 

(man to man) 

[Chorus] 

For love is where you find it 

Wherever that may be 

For me it was in the Sailors Arms 

At twenty-five past three 

There's something strange about her 

I can't put my finger on 

But I wanna tell the world 

That she's the one 

(she's the one) 

I wanna tell the world 

That she's the one 

She strolled up to the toilets 

She strolled into the Gents 

I asked her why she did it 

Why she'd gone to pay the rent 

We arm-wrestled and I lost 

She beat me with a spike 

Told me filthy jokes 

That were quite unlady-like 

(lady-like) 

It was four in the morning 

And through the smokey haze 

I could've been mistaken 

But she needed to shave 

(to shave) 

[Chorus] 

For love is where you find it 

Wherever that may be 

For me it was in the Sailors Arms 

With a better man than me 

Her husky voice seduced me 

My heart was in a mess 

I sat upon her knee 

As something twitched beneath her dress 

There's something more than knees beneath her dress 

You've got nice eyes says I 

(Oh Sir, I am suprised) 

What large hands I said 

(All the better to touch you with) 

God, you arms look strong 

(A woman's work is never done) 

Your legs are quite hirsuite 

(Aren't you the saucy one!) 

I was feeling less than stable 

When she said her name was Ken 

(Ken!) 

Well if I had suspicions 

Lord I should've had 'em then 

(then!) 

She cried as she told me 

How she was so confused 

One more visit to the doctor 

She'd have nothing left to lose 

(Toulouse-Lautrec) 

I ran my fingers through her wig 

She lightly stroked my hair 

She said she was a man 

(Whoa whoa! She said she was a man? 

A man called Ken - Bull-twang!) 

Lots of men are called Ken. 

(So what did you say?) 

I told her I don't care 

(He doesn't care) 

[Chorus] 

For love is where you find it 

Wherever that may be 

For me it was in a hopper bin 

With my trousers 'round my knees 

There's something strange about her 

I just put my finger on 

And I want to tell the world 

That she's the one 

(he's the one) 

I want to tell the world 

That its the one.
