John Taylor's Month Away (single version) Lyrics

I love to look out at the sea
from the swingpark here at Roome Bay Beach
Today John Taylor starts his month away
on a boat 1 10 miles east of Aberdeen
A dozen men, 30 days with 24 hours in each
of shattered boyhood dreams and not much sleep
I'd much rather be me
for once I'd much rather be me
A month at sea and they will surely sleep
with their heads still stuck on land
A month on land and then they'll surely dream
of girls the can afford but cannot have

And in the drunken haze their on a rolling wave
Once again I'd much rather be me
I'd rather be me
Once again I'd much rather be me

For once again I'd much rather be me
