lirik lagu damian wilson & adam wakeman – the man from the island
when i turned seventeen the man from the island
he took me under his wing
he showed me the good from the fake
how to make my mistakes
and trust me, i made quite a few
we played every night of the week
a pub called the creek
the whitehouse and all in between
he showed me the strong from the weak
to drink bushmills neat, out of an old jam jar
without him we’re not who we are
he hit those keys like they all owed him money
sang songs that were funny
and some that were sad made me cry
i never once saw him losing his cool, or tolerate a fool
his wisdom was second to none
when i was mad he talked my tempers down
answers were found in a way that only he could
he taught me to play steely dan
behave like a man with a smile and advice by the bar
without him we’re not who we are
we played for the bride and the groom
at the viking longroom a fight broke
before the last song
it spilled out onto the street
throwing up on our feet and falling all over our gear
as we tried to load up the van
more punches began he said
“climb in and shut the back doors!”
the groom’s family they don’t like outsiders
foxdale freedom fighters, the craziest folks by far
without him we’re not who we are
when the news came i couldn’t believe it
i still can’t conceive it
the world seems an emptier place
the tide waits for no man
we just do what we can
and play songs ’til we run out of time
i remember your wisdom was candid
you’d roll cigarettes one handed
and smoked them whilst playing the blues
you were the man from the island who said
don’t lose your head
and be the best man that you can
without him i’m not who i am
