How Come The Pogues

[Verse 1]
How come when I got the ace of hearts
You always draw the ace of spades?
How's it when your best friend
Brings you lilies on your birthday?

[Chorus]
How come, yeah, how come?
Well, I ain't superstitious, but well, these things I've seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

[Verse 2]
How come when the local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black?
What kind of bread are you gonna bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack?

[Chorus]
How come, yeah, how come?
Well, I ain't superstitious, but well, these things I've seen
How come, yeah, how come?
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me, yeah

[Verse 3]
The spider's run, the cobweb's gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new?
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
I've even broken up your broom
