This isnt living now
A thing my father said to me
And get a haircut, boy
If you in respectable society
Why did you stop writing?
I knew you had some trouble, son
But you should know by now
That my number doesnt change because a dirty deed is done
All I need from you
And thats all regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you understand
That Ill never turn my back on you
How are your wife and child?
Im sure your little girl has grown
And give them a kiss and smile
Thats what my daddy said in a letter very long
What kind of man would I be?
If I left you in despair and then he wrote
And I miss your mother, son cause if she were still alive
Shed tell you too you should cut your hair
All I need from you
And thats all regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you realise
That Ill never turn my back on you
Whatever you do just try to get through to me
Remember the time we got drunk on wine by the sea
And I laughed when you tried to stagger home by yourself
You were stubborn then and you are still stubborn now, but then
All I need from you
And thats all regardless of whatever you do
And that is that you understand
That Ill never turn my back
Ill never turn my back
Ill never turn my back on you
Said you, were in the back boys
Said Ill never, never, never turn my back on you
Cause you know why
Said Ill never never, never turn my back on you
