One Hundred Miles To Liverpool - Lindisfarne

Sue and Annie wrote me, they’re coming down to quote me

Know every word to every song

Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking

Me I’m wondering what the hell went wrong

100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go

Been down this road in sunshine and in snow

And it don’t get any shorter

And the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no

Funny how a mile can go on forever

Funny how a day can be an age

Funny how a smile can face the stormy weather

Funny how a house can be a cage

100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go

Been down this road in sunshine and in snow

And it don’t get any shorter

And the water under the bridge has got to flow

John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping

The moon is on his own no place to go

Me, I’m cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes

Toasting the end of another show

But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights

Dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light

The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree

Well a man must have his dreams

Even though his dreams might never come to be

100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go

Been down this road in sunshine and in snow

And it don’t get any shorter

And the water under the bridge has got to

100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go

Been down this road in sunshine and in snow

And it don’t get any shorter

And the water under the bridge has got to flow
