Gerry Rafferty Shipyard Town (1988) from North & South

From The 1988 album North & south, the 5th solo album from Gerry after a 5 year gap. I still remember the excitment i felt waiting for the release date & then finding that G.R had come up with yet another great album.Rafferty fills his albums with solid material unlike most artists who pad their album out. with sub standard work.

Remember how we met, down by the waterside

How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band

But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying

Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land

We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago

Remember how we met, down by the waterside

How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

In a dance hall by the river I was singing in a traveling band

Just another small town night with a silver moon shinin

I remember when I saw you that first moment when it all began

You looked across a crowded room and stole my heart away.

And we stood out in the moonlight in the shadow of a factory wall

Music playing soft and low and a gentle breeze sighing

And the light on the river was magic yes a magic that I still recall

Moments come and moments go but these moments still remain

@celticfan60... I do, and as you are an inferior sweaty, you should take my word for it and be very thankful i have taken the time to educate you...and my opinion is obviously gnawing at yer little brain,or you wouldnt be trying to type the angry retorts. and you shouldn't give a rats ass to anyone...you'd have nothing left for dinner.. i knew i would struggle getting you to understand things, the minute i saw the name...always retarded those green hoop sweaties.

@mrbarleymob Who says it's without argument? Since you use that charming epithet (look it up) 'sweaty' I assume you don't even live in Scotland so I doubt your assumption holds much weight. In either case I don't particularly give a rat's ass for your opinion.

[mrbarleymob]

@celticfan60 thank you for confirming what i already knew sweaty...i had a bet that someone would detect me being a twat on purpose with my friend, he now owes me 20 quid. cause i had blind faith in the old saying it takes one to know one...and that belief won me a score...oh and rangers are the best team in scotland...without arguement u tit.

@celticfan60 my dad had no idea who my mother was...he was a bit like that.

[celticfan60]

@mrbarleymob I KNOW you are being an a** on purpose. It's NOT clever. I'm sure your mother told you that ..or she would if she ever admitted she was your Mother. Now go back to sleep you annoying lil person.

[mrbarleymob]

@celticfan60 THEN BUY HIS FUCKING RECORDS YOU TIGHT TWATS. AND IF YOUR TOO TIGHT TO DO THAT ...THEN TRY LISTENING...

[celticfan60]

@mrbarleymob maybe some people are just INTERESTED and they may not have the LINER (not linear) notes.

[mrbarleymob]
