Attaboy Go Spin a Yarn
Ed Harcourt
Attaboy, go spin a yarn about the good old days
Catching fish laughing aloud out on Compton Bay
I'm not one for nostalgia, don't really like the past
I'm just a happy man with a ship and a sail and a mast
Attaboy, go spin a yarn about the good old times
What's that film we went to see when I was five?
I'm not one for remembrance, but I do like to make it last
I'm just a happy man with a boat and a hatful of glass
No no no it seems so easy yeah
To reflect on times gone by
And I expect you'll spin a yarn till you die
