Print Version


I was sixteen now and full of life, life was full of things to see
Grown up in my little town and only seen Torquay

So it's off I went to Newton Abbot to get myself the deeds to sign
My father took them and tore them up, saying "That's no life for a boy of mine"

"John, my son, don't join the Navy, there's no good in it, I know
Plant your seeds on solid ground and watch your harvest grow
John, my son, don't join the Navy, that's clay that's underneath your skin
John, my son, don't join the Navy, don't go leaving your kith and kin"

A boy must breathe and . . . or call himself a failure
So I would see some foreign shores and I would be a sailor

So I went off to my mother for a week or more and wiled and wheeled and won my way
Father put the pen to paper in the fields at lunch the very next day

Other Fairport Convention song Lyrics
  • I Dont Know Where I Stand
    "Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
    Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair
    Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand
    Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand..."
  • Percys Song
    "Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
    Turn, turn, turn again
    "Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep"
    Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind..."
  • Time Will Show the Wiser
    "My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good
    And my heart is aching, that tells me I should
    But only time will show the wiser
    I've fallen in love with a girl that's not mine..."
  • If (Stomp)
    "If I were rich enough
    To make you need me as much as I need you
    If I could pitch enough
    You'd realise what a little country bread can do..."
  • Decameron
    "She doesn't see the day to day
    No colours where the children play
    She doesn't see the things she's sown
    White crosses painted on the door..."
  • Jack ODiamonds
    "Jack O'Diamonds, on the move
    Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
    On the move, hits the street
    Bumps his head, on the ground..."
  • Chelsea Morning
    "Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
    Was a song outside my window
    And the traffic wrote the words
    It came ringing up like Christmas bells..."
  • Sun Shade
    "Dying's not easy today
    Trying but can't get away
    Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair
    ?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky..."
