Doug Anthony All Stars Sailors Arms Lyrics

I met her at the 'Sailor Arms'
A bar down by the docks
Full of prostitutes and deviants
And fellows wearing frocks
Went there to drown my sorrow
My misery and paaaiiiiaaaiiiiaan
With fourteen multicoloured pills
And a pint of heavy ale
        (heavy ale)
And I saw this girl across the way
Who was smiling through the wine
So I begged her come on over
Come on over, spend some time
And I spilled my life before her
And she seemed to understand
Although she was a girl
We were talking man to man
       (man to man)
[Chorus]
For love is where you find it
Wherever that may be
For me it was in the Sailors Arms
At twenty-five past three
There's something strange about her
I can't put my finger on
But I wanna tell the world
That she's the one
      (she's the one)
I wanna tell the world
That she's the one
She strolled up to the toilets
She strolled into the Gents
I asked her why she did it
Why she'd gone to pay the rent
We arm-wrestled and I lost
She beat me with a spike
Told me filthy jokes
That were quite unlady-like
     (lady-like)
It was four in the morning
And through the smokey haze
I could've been mistaken
But she needed to shave
      (to shave)
[Chorus]
For love is where you find it
Wherever that may be
For me it was in the Sailors Arms
With a better man than me
Her husky voice seduced me
My heart was in a mess
I sat upon her knee
As something twitched beneath her dress
There's something more than knees beneath her dress
You've got nice eyes says I
       (Oh Sir, I am suprised)
What large hands I said
       (All the better to touch you with)
God, you arms look strong
       (A woman's work is never done)
Your legs are quite hirsuite
       (Aren't you the saucy one!)
I was feeling less than stable
When she said her name was Ken
       (Ken!)
Well if I had suspicions
Lord I should've had 'em then
       (then!)
She cried as she told me
How she was so confused
One more visit to the doctor
She'd have nothing left to lose
       (Toulouse-Lautrec)
I ran my fingers through her wig
She lightly stroked my hair
She said she was a man
       (Whoa whoa! She said she was a man?
       A man called Ken - Bull-twang!)
Lots of men are called Ken.
       (So what did you say?)
I told her I don't care
       (He doesn't care)
[Chorus]
For love is where you find it
Wherever that may be
For me it was in a hopper bin
With my trousers 'round my knees
There's something strange about her
I just put my finger on
And I want to tell the world
That she's the one
     (he's the one)
I want to tell the world
That its the one.
