You Don't Pull No Punches But You Don't Push The River Lyrics - Van Morrison

(Da da da...) 

When you were a child, you were a tomboy 

Gimme soul satisfaction 

Way back in shady lane 

Do you remember darlin'? 

And it's the woman in you, and it's the woman in you 

Gimme soul satisfaction 

And it takes the child in you to know 

The woman an' you are one

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

We're goin' out in the country to get down to the real soul, 

I mean the real soul, people, 

We're goin' out in the country, get down to the real soul 

We're gettin' out to the west coast 

Shining our light into the days of bloomin' wonder 

Goin' as much with the river as not, as not, yeah, yeah 

An' I'm goin' as much with the river as not 

Yeah, yeah, right, yeah 

Blake and the Eternals oh standin' with the Sisters of Mercy 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece, yeah 

William Blake and the Eternals oh standin' with the Sisters of Mercy 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece, yeah 

You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river 

You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river 

You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river, no, no 

Goin' as much with the river as not 

We're goin' out in the West, down to the cathedrals 

We're goin' out in the West (alright), down to the beaches 

And the Sisters of Mercy, behind the sun 

Oh behind the sun 

And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy looking for the Veedon Fleece, 

Yeah 

You don't pull no punches, goin' west, goin' as much with the river as not 

With the river as not, with the river as not, goin' as much, 

Goin' as much with the river as not, no, ah 

You don't pull no punches, and you don't push the river, no 

You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river, no 

You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river, no 

You don't pull no punches, but you don't push the river 

And we was contemplating Baba, William Blake and the Eternals 

Goin' down to the Sisters of Mercy 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece 

Looking for the Veedon Fleece 

You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river 

You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river, no 

You don't pull no punches, but ya, you don't push the river 

You don't push the river, you don't push the river
