lyrics

Give me a dose of the holy water
Helps me to sleep now the nights are shorter
Hold me back from a life spend in the shade
All those promises you made
To change your way of life

Give me a dose of the holy water
Have you been back lately?

Give me a dose of the holy water
Leave me to drink to my daily quota
There’s never smoke without fire there’s never heat
Without drink you couldn’t eat
Couldn’t think you couldn’t breathe

Give me a dose of the holy water
Have you been back lately?

Each move across the border
Leaves another day of common sense behind
Another piece of mind goes wanting

The living picture is broader
And it’s moving on as you leave yourself behind
Another mind, see your face in the water
Can you picture yourself?

Give me a dose of the holy water
Helps me to sleep now the nights are shorter
Hold me back from a life spend in the shade
All those promises you made
To change your way of life

Give me a dose of the holy water
Have you been back lately?
Have you been back lately?
Have you been back lately?
