Deacon Blue - Fourteen Years Lyrics

Fourteen years on a steam-pack sonny

trying to get the kit off my back

Pushing Shanghai to Liverpool sonny

Pissing in the wind and the flag

You're kipping out in the railway station

Now you've left the navy behind

You're hoping just to ride

Fourteen years of belligerence sonny

Working from Dakar to Belise

Fourteen years of Marine life, baby

Trying to keep a man of your knees

Your kipped out in a railway station

Now you've left the navy behind

You're hoping just to ride

hoping just to ride

hoping just to ride
