Sweet & Tender Hooligan

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

And he said that he'd never, never, never, never do it again

Not until the next time

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

And he swore that he'd never, never, never, never, never do it again

And of course he won't

Poor old man

He had an accident with a three-bar fire

But that's ok

Because he wasn't very happy anyway

Poor woman

Strangled in her very own bed as she read

But that's ok

'Cause she was old and she would have died anyway

Don't blame

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

And he said that he'd never, never, never, never do it again

Not until the next time

Jury, you've heard every word

So before you decide

Would you look into those mother me eyes

I love you for you, my love

Jury, you've heard every word

But before you decide

Would you look into those mother me eyes

I love you for you my love

For you my love

Don't blame

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

'Cause he said that he'd never, never, never, never do it again

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

Because he'd never, never, never, never do it again

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

Etcetera, etcetera

In the midst of life we are in death

Etcetera
