Country Mile Lyrics - Calling Card - Rory Gallagher

Down with love 

With flowers and rice and shoes 

Down with love 

The root of all midnight blues 

Down with things 

That give you that well-known pain 

Take that moon 

Wrap it in cellophane 

Down with love 

Let's liquidate all it's friends 

Like moon, June 

Roses and rainbow's ends 

Down with songs 

That mourn about night and day 

Down with love 

Take it away, away 

Take it away, take it away 

Give it back to the birds 

And bees and the Viennese 

Down with eyes 

Romantic and stupid 

Down with sighs, down with cupid 

Brother let's stuff that dove 

Down with love 

Down with love 

Liquidate all it's friends 

Like moon, June 

Roses and rainbow's ends 

Down with songs 

That mourn about night and day 

You are the one 

And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you 

Ah, the promised kiss of spring is here 

What does my heart go dancin' overhead 

On the ceiling near my bed? 

We go now 

Because I talk to the trees 

But they don't listen to me 

I tell them 

You say either, I say either 

You say neither, I say neither 

Either, either 

Neither, neither 

Let's call the whole thing off! 

Take it away, take it away 

Give it back to the birds 

And the bees and the Viennese 

Down with eyes 

Romantic and stupid 

Down with sighs, down with cupid 

Brother let's stuff that dove 

Down, down, down 

I go on 'round and 'round 

I go in a spin 

Hey, in the spin, I'm in 

What is this thing 

What is this thing called love?
