When I was a young man
They said you know a young man
Should always keep his head out of the clouds
And head for sunny weather
To keep himself together
In case forever complicates his brain
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
And when I was a good man
So completely should man
There were no mistakes I could have made
Oh but fate she's evil
Oh she's really evil
Dealing double trouble, no-one's safe
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
I haven't got the luck it takes
You've got me wrong
It's your mistake
So if when you're coming down
You see in the late night film queue
Someone who looks like me - you're wrong!
Though we all move on sir
Reasons there are none sir
I suppose that's how it's meant to be
Hey, nothing's what it seems from far away
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
I hear you're really going somewhere Joe
