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" is a nine-minute song by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It appears on the album ''Veedon Fleece'', released in 1974.
==Song origins==
The song was written on Morrison's three week trip to Ireland in October 1973, along with seven other songs that would feature on ''Veedon Fleece''.〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence?, pp.277-278〕
Biographer Clinton Heylin wrote that Morrison admitted—that "aside from 'flashes of Ireland'—the song had 'other flashes on other kinds of people. I was also reading a couple of books at the time...() a bit of Gestalt theory in it, too."〔Heylin. ''Can You Feel the Silence?'', p.280〕 (A book entitled, ''Don't Push the River (It Flows by Itself)'' by Barry Stevens about her use of Gestalt therapy was published in 1970.) In the song's lyrics are Morrison's first referral to William Blake, and the Eternals from Blake's ''The Book of Urizen''. The Sisters of Mercy, also mentioned in the song, is a religious organisation of women founded in Dublin, Ireland.〔
