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
