St. Augustine's Pears

Intro: : ::


Late one night I heard a knock at the door

The boys were really painting the town

I was just another bored teenage boy

Kickin up and actin the clown...

Yeah


One dare led to another dare

Then things were getting out of control

We hopped the fence and we stole the pears

And I threw away a part of my soul

Yes, I threw away a part of my soul Now it s


Haunting me how I stole those pears

Cause I loved the wrong

Even though I knew a better way

Not for hunger or poverty

It was more than pears that I ended up

throwin away... Yeah


Time goes by, now I m old and grey

Those pears are just a memory

I would gladly pay all I have today

But that s just not the problem you see... cause it s


Haunting me how I stole those pears

Cause I loved the wrong

Even though I knew a better way

Not for hunger or poverty

It was more than pears that I ended up

throwin away... Yeah Yeah



Why do we love all the things that are wrong

Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song

Why do we do what we don t wanna do

When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough
