    Title: I Was Only Joking
    Artist: Rod Stewart
    Album: Foot Loose & Fancy Free
    Year: 1977
    Lyrics:
    Ever since I was a kid at school
    I messed around with all the rules
    Apologised, then realised
    I'm not different after all
    Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
    Valentinos all of us
    My dad said we looked ridiculous
    But, boy we broke some hearts
    In and out of jobs, runnin' free
    Waging war with society
    Dumb, blank faces stared back at me
    But nothing ever changed
    Promises made in the heat of night
    Creepin' home before it got too light
    I wasted all that precious time
    And blamed it on the wine
    I was only jokin' my dear (my dear)
    Lookin' for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
    What kind of fool was I? (was I)
    I could never win (never win)
    Never found a compromise
    Collected lovers like butterflies
    Illusions of that grand first prize
    Are slowly wearin' thin
    Susie, baby, you were good to me
    Giving love unselfishly
    But you took it all too seriously
    I guess it had to end
    I was only jokin' my dear (my dear)
    Lookin' for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
    What kind of fool was I? (was I)
    I could never win (never win)
    Yeah, baby, woo
    Hoo
    Now you ask me if I'm sincere
    That's the question that I always fear
    Verse seven is never clear
    But I'll tell you what you wanna hear
    I try to give you all you want
    But givin' love is not my strongest point
    If that's the case, it's pointless goin' on
    I'd rather be alone
    'Cause what I'm doin' must be wrong
    Pouring my heart out in a song
    Owning up for prosperity
    For the whole damn world to see
    Quietly now while I turn a page
    Act one is over without costume change
    The principal would like to leave the stage
    The crowd don't understand

    When this song first rolled out, I didn’t care much for it except the girl I was dating loved all Rod Stewart songs particularly this one. Decades later when I came across ‘I was only Joking’, it had a completely different feel. The song moves me and the lyrics makes my eyes teary, heart wrenching. A super talented yet underrated musician. Not that R S wasn’t famous, but I now feel he should’ve deserved more credit than he already had. I feel like a fool missing such a marvelous song for years. Hats off….
    ps. ~ Maureen, if u happen to read it, u should probably know who I am, the fearless young guy that wanted a Fiesta so badly but ended up getting a much higher end V6 Capri. I still miss u and wish u well & happy 💜

      @@sportyfemme64 I think u misunderstood what I was referring to 🙂 I drove a 4 bangers Pinto at the time but both Maureen and I had our eyes on the new Fiesta badly, except I couldn’t afford to get one then. I worked hard, real hard to save bulks. I then came across a mint condition German version 2.8 V6 Capri and bought it on the spot. Perhaps u thought my remarks was downgrading my ex-girlfriend was it wasn’t my intention. We broke up in good terms.
      ps. ~ Pinto, Fiesta and Capri were ALL Fords, only sold at different dealerships due to global marketing strategies.

    I wore the grooves out on Foot Loose and Fancy Free, i was 11 playing guitar and grew up singing in bands that played with major acts. It was my dream. Boy it was fun, dangerous and risky but i have no regrets.

    This should have gone to number one and stayed there a very long time. However, such as the Brotherhood of Man and Abba, kept it out, as did the fact that it was released as a double A-side with a noisy thing on the other side.
