  • Heard it on the radio today, composed by Leo Sayer & David Courtney. This performance by Roger Daltrey really hit a chord with me after missing what it had to offer when it was first released in '73

    I remember being on the swing in the back garden ....(mooching school) ....... with this record on my transistor radio 🙂
    .
    I could hear my Mum calling my name and as i looked round she wasnt there !!!!!
    .
    Her words ........... "THATS OK ...... I NEVER HAD IT ... BUT MY MOTHER COULD HEAR HER GRANDMOTHER"
    .
    she never lied to me ..... and i failed her in her last days 😞

    I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
    I got up and walked away.
    Oh, I was just a boy,
    I didn't know how to play.
    Worked hard and failed
    now all I can say is
    I threw it all away.
    Oh, I was just a boy
    giving it all away...
    sail away, sail away,
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    giving it all away
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    I've given it all away...
    Went out in the world too much for my nerves
    only myself to blame.
    oh, I was just a boy
    nobody else to blame...
    I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
    stand on my head and say
    oh, I was just a boy
    giving it all away...
    sail away, sail away,
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    giving it all away
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    given it all away..
