[Verse 1]
When you were a child, you were a tomboy
Your soul satisfaction
Way back in shady lane
Do you remember darlin'?

[Verse 2]
And it's the woman in you, and it's the woman in you
Give me soul satisfaction
And it takes the child in you to know
The woman and you are one

[Verse 3]
We're goin' out in the country
To get down to the real soul, I mean the real soul people
I'm talking about the real soul people
We're goin' out in the country, get down to the real soul
We're gettin' out to the west coast
Shining our light into the days of bloomin' wonder
Goin' as much with the river as not, as not
I'm goin' as much with the river as not
Blake and the Eternals standin' with the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece

[Refrain]
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
You don't pull no punches
And you don't push the river
You don't pull no punches
And you don't push the river
[Verse 4]
Goin' as much with the river as not
We're goin' out in the west, down to the cathedrals
We're goin' out in the west, down to the beaches
And the Sisters of Mercy behind the sun, behind the sun
And William Blake and the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
You don't pull no punches, goin' west
Goin' as much with the river as not

[Refrain]
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river
You don't pull no punches
But you don't push the river

[Outro]
And we was contemplating Baba
William Blake and the Eternals
Goin' down to the Sisters of Mercy
Looking for the Veedon Fleece
