richard thompson - miss patsy lyrics

Loading...

my dearest miss patsy, i’m writing to say
that i’m sorry to not be in touch
it’s been quite a parade, but my thoughts never strayed
too far, or too long, or too much

miss patsy, forgive all the choices i made
i’ve been fighting shadows on the wrong crusade
looking for ghosts in a penny arcade
miss patsy, no more will i roam
miss patsy, won’t you carry me home

they held me to ransom back there in the foothills
and n-body stumped up a bean
not swifty, nor eddie, came up with the ready
it can make you think people plain mean

miss patsy, forgive all the choices i made
i’ve been fighting shadows on the wrong crusade
looking for ghosts in a penny arcade
miss patsy, no more will i roam
miss patsy, won’t you carry me home

i’ve been hanging out with some virtuous people
they emptied my bank account twice
the gave me self-confidence, even some clothes
and a truckload of love and advice
when they gave out the cyanide pills with a wink
and said, wait for the word, any day now, we think
i knew it was time to pull back from the brink
miss patsy, no more will i roam
miss patsy, won’t you carry me home

miss patsy, i looked at myself in the mirror
decided i needed some work
got me a nose job, a shave and a haircut
to drive all them ladies berserk
but the arm round my waist was a man in dark blue
he said, ain’t you him? we’ve been looking for you
now i’m sharing a cell with a holy kung fu
miss patsy, no more will i roam
miss patsy, won’t you carry me home
