07 Seventeen again
A rockabilly number extolling the pleasures of a second youth that started life as two separate songs which then got blurred together and gained a banjo... but it needed the serendipity of Helen Martyn's castenets to complete it!
(D A G) 2 D A G A D
6 am the alarm clock is glowing
Out side I think it might be snowing but
Inside we’re wrapped up warm and cosy
I’m lying here thinkin’ that the future’s looking rosy
Well maybe I’m a jerk
But I don’t really fancy work so
Let’s pretend
We’re seventeen again
Long hours seem to be getting longer
Yet somehow the passion getting stronger
You laugh, you say my age is showing
But don’t blame its not my fault if something’s growing
Well this feeling can’t be wrong
So why not tag along and
Lets pretend
We’re seventeen again
G D A F#G G D E A D
You got the passion, I got the hots
So why not take the time to see what I got
For far too long I’ve been taking the strain
I just wanna feel just like I’m seventeen again
Your choice, you can be the chooser
But I bet that early bus is gonna be the loser
You know it’s nice to wake up feeling full and frisky
What’s there to lose, what could be so risky
well the kids are long gone
so fore winter draws on
lets pretend
we’re seventeen again
Come on and hold me like we’re seventeen again
Come on and squeeze me like we’re seventeen again
Come on and kiss me like we’re seventeen again
Come on and touch me like we’re seventeen again
Come on ….. seventeen again
Come on ….. seventeen again
I just wanna feel just like I’m seventeen again
