When I met you I was a sailor Still, you put me all at sea I couldn’t wait For every date You made me so happy And I’d write you a song To tell you I loved you And I’d sing them to you So you would love me too In a whirlwind I popped the question Down on a bended knee Me in sailor whites You shining in gold With Gods grace you married me And I’d write you a song To tell you I loved you And I’d sing them to you So you would love me too Years sail by Sailor whites Change to dark pinstripe We lose romance We stop dancing We give up chasing the dream Johnny, oh Johnny, she said, please write me a song A breakup song sweet but sad and melancholy If you want to make me happy again That would really make me so very happy again Johnny make me happy again That would really make me so very happy again Nothing died It just faded Love became lethargy Blue seas became blue moods Love songs became so longs Back to you and me Every song I wrote was to get you to love me Then you said write me a break up song

This is Susie she’s my sunshine We gonna live together but not forever we’ll enjoy our limerence we don’t need permanence Got a flat above a shop just off the precinct I paid the deposit and I got the key sent It’s got a cat flap for Buffy the Rat slayer Now I’m gonna buy a futon and an old cd player Get some candles, a bottle of wine and some pasta Try and cook a lasagne that’s not a disaster. We’ll probably make love after and curl up on the futon Me and Susie She is the one (Susie) If you’re gonna write a song about anyone She is the one (Susie) This is Susie she’s my sunshine We gonna live together but not forever we’ll enjoy our limerence we don’t need permanence Me and Susie She is the one (Susie) If you’re gonna write a song about anyone She is the one

I used to be young They were the best years of my life New places, new songs, new faces They were the best years of my life I went to work They were the best years of my life New goals, new rules, beer money They were the best years of my life I made hay They were the best years of my life My Neil, less snakes then ladders I formed a band They were the best years of my life Coal Mine, Big Moon, Dum Dum They were the best years of my life So the sky is always blue But every day there’s something new Routines a state of mind There’s always gold to find in the small things I met you They were the best years of my life New meaning, real purpose and kisses They were the best years of my life We’re still here These are the best years of my life New horizons, new hopes, the lurcher We still haven’t had the best years of our life We still haven’t had the best years of our life We still haven’t had the best years of our life We’re Still here These are the best years of my life New horizons, new hopes, the lurcher, We still haven’t had the best years of our life We still haven’t had the best years of our life We still haven’t had the best years of our life

Perhaps if i’d told you straight away

The sight of your face makes my day

By now i’d be your lover too

Not just a friend there for you

Maybe if i’d spoken from the heart

Not as a friend locked in that part

The advice i gave wouldn’t make you better

But show that you and I could matter

      

Next time around i wouldn’t be such a good listener

I’d take a chance and go ahead and kiss her

What if when i found you crying in the hall

I’d just taken your hand and said forget it all

I should have put you in my car and drove forever

Or at least ‘til I convinced you we should be together

      

There’s so much you can do blessed with hindsight

Make all the right moves, say everything just right

Next time around i wouldn’t be such a good listener

I’d take a chance and go ahead and kiss her

Next time around i wouldn’t be just a shoulder

I’d take a chance and i’d really hold her

I’d take a chance and go ahead and kiss her

I’d take a chance and kiss her

I’d take a chance

What cruel twist of fate have the sisters dealt

To see me born again without my past blocked out

It’s true I lived nights too few

When you called me Lord

But I lived days enough, before I died by the sword

Together, in the same place, I alone have memory

I choose to recall your grace and forget your infidelity

I could take you to Merlin’s tomb and carve hearts on it’s bark

Yet this voice inside me says ‘lead man from the dark’

Give me an answer do

Where’s that wisdom now

Am I one for all or am I all for one

Can that one be you?

I’ve secrets to tell, that before I’d never dare

Are they for your ears alone or should everyone share?

It’s true all man would benefit from a sip from Joseph’s cup

Isn’t that a responsibility by death I’ve given up

Give me an answer do

Where’s that wisdom now

Am I one for all or am I all for one

Can that one be you?

Who today would follow me,

I see no sword in a stone

No-one sits around tables to listen to unknowns

Let me live to love Guinevere

Be my Lady of the lake

We could dive for Excalibur and laugh in our own wake

Give me an answer do

(be my lady of the lake)

Where’s that wisdom now

(We could dive for Excalibur)

Am I one for all or am I all for one

(Let me live to love Guinevere)

(We could dive for Excalibur and laugh in our own wake)

Can that one be you?
