Ring That Bell

A Goddess for me, I met her working at the Boot’s pharmacy,
She always serves me, I go in everyday so she won’t forget me

Will tonight be the night?
Gonna ask her out one more time,
Will tonight be the night,
A cozy little chat over lager and lime
cause
Everybody wants to ring that bell,
Everybody wants to be that girls boyfriend,
Hand in hand in hand,
Its not what I planned

I plan my next move, playing the jukebox with some sultry groove,
But they all come around, flashing wads of fivers with something to prove

And Del-Boy wants to make his mark,
And Ricky asks her out to the disco bar
And Jack is circling like a shark,
And Trevor wants to buy her a shooting star
cause
Everybody wants to ring that bell,
Everybody wants to be that girls boyfriend,
Hand in hand in hand,
Its not what I planned

She is the only girl,
I want tonight
And I will fight
Oh-oh here we go,
Oh-oh another show,
Oh-oh they try it on
I turn around, she is gone

It’s always the way, bloody, beaten, battered, I’ve had my say
But I’m still in love, but I never get the time of day

Now when I’m back in the pharmacy,
Pain pills, cold shoulder, its all for me,
and Del-Boy has made his mark,
And me and the lads we are back in the bar
cause
Everybody wants to ring that bell,
Everybody wants to be that girls boyfriend,
Hand in hand in hand,
Its not what I planned

about

The Hoovers Petaluma, California

Bill and Paul met at 17 years of age when Bill answered an ad in Melody Maker for a lead guitarist. It was love at first sight and now after too many years to mention they find themselves thousands of miles from their homeland, still writing and performing songs with the same enthusiasm and energy as ever. Unique observers of everyday life and emotions with an irreverent nod to authority. ... more
