I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea.
Then I got a job in a factory.
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory,
it was good for him, it was great for me.
Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street.
I always followed my heart and I never missed a beat.
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around.
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down.
Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on.
