LYRICS

Double-Barrelled

I asked her if she liked me, and would she like a drink

She said she did and wouldn’t, I understood I think

She asked me if I liked her, and couldn’t we elope

I said I did and couldn’t. she understood I hope

I asked was she just passing, and did she live alone

She said she was and didn’t, as if I should have known

She asked if I was spoken for, and could we have that drink

I said we could and wasn’t, she understood I think

Chorus

Double-barrelled, trouble travelled all the way with me

Double-barrelled guns around the world are all we see

When we ask the questions of the powerful we’re

stonewalled

Double-barrelled answers which will never have us fooled

I asked if he was honest, and would always tell the truth

He said he was but wouldn’t, both upstanding and uncouth

And what of propaganda, is it truth or is it lies

He said it doesn’t matter, to win the war’s the only prize

Chorus

Double-barrelled, trouble travelled all the way with me

Double-barrelled guns around the world are all we see

When we ask the questions of the powerful we’re

stonewalled

Double-barrelled answers which will never have us fooled

I asked if I could kiss her, and get to know her well

She said I could and couldn’t, her meaning who can tell

I heard two men discussing peace, and how we’re on the

brink

Their shaking hands have made more bombs

They understood I think

Chorus

Double-barrelled, trouble travelled all the way with me

Double-barrelled guns around the world are all we see

When we ask the questions of the powerful we’re

stonewalled

Double-barrelled answers which will never have us fooled
