The Bells Of St. Marys Lyrics - Leo Sayer

He used to play mouth organ 

In a folk club, in a pub they call the Lady Jane 

All the sounds as his friends and he would holler 

Songs of love and songs of pain 

There wasn't much that he could use his time for 

So he used to practice everyday 

And play the mouth organ, blues and hard luck 

Someday soon I'm gonna break away 

He used to listen to the bells of St Mary's 

As they would echo through those early days 

And sometimes even now he thinks that he still hears them 

Although they're but a thousand miles away 

And so he came into this crazy business 

And do you know the stars all fell his way 

And he became another rock [incomprehensible] rock and roll troubadour 

And threw the mouth organ far away
