about

This song harks back to my lovelorn journey across the planet in the '81 but didn't appear on record until our 2009 live album "Eat at Joe's' celebrating 5 years festival residency at Joe Maguire's in Tamworth; there's also a version on the last Dead Setters album 2015's "Continental Drift"

lyrics

I’ll be your full time man baby
Walkin’ across the water to your side
I’ll be your full time man baby
Nothing can stop me this time
Maybe an ocean in between
But there ain’t nothin’ gonna stop you being mine

Went down to the station
Got me a ticket on that line
Went down to the station
And I got me to the water on time
Got an ocean to cross
Left all of my salty tears behind

I left my mama and all of my friends
Gonna start a new life gonna make amends
I’ll be your full time man baby
Walkin’ across the water to your side

Gonna move to the country
Leave this crazy city life behind
Yeah I’m goin’ up the country
Baby ‘cos this livin’ feels like dying
Gonna tell everybody
It’s your sweet lovin’ makes me feel alive

I’ll be your full time man baby
Walkin’ across the water to your side
I’ll be your full time man baby
You pull me like the moon pulls the tide
I held you in my dreams
Now I’m comin’ home to make you mine
Yeah I held you in my dreams
Now I’m comin’ home to make you mine
