Lyrics Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention

Me With You

It's nice to sit on the highest cliff

For a minute or two

And it's nice to ride a stallion or go sailing in a galleon

With a good crew

And it's nice to walk the clover

When its wet all over in the morning dew

Did you ever see a dogs nose quiver when the wind blows

That's me with you

Breaking up the fresh bread throwing crumbs on the bed

I'm a lout

Smiling at the wall and tying up a shoestring

I'm going out

Happy as a heffer chewing the cud

Happy as a bubble in mud

Did you ever hear a tune slide swinging from the inside

That's me with you

If you take some yellow add a little bit of blue

You're bound to get green

And if you keep a horse from water sooner or later he turns mean

Well its nice to have a nibble

But don't you go and let it spoil the meal

I'm a feather from a black crow beady on the hedgerow

That's me with you

Well its nice to stroll when the storm is gone

And it all smells new

And its nice to seem wise when you've only surmised

And you haven't really got a clue

When you think you are done and no one sings your song sing blues

Tougher than a toenail tighter than a cats tail

That's me with you

Soft as whiskers on a horse's chin

Just like a Cheshire cat, I'm good with a grin

Like an eight nine ten jack queen with a king

Happy as King Arthur and his magic blade

Sleeping by the lizard in the shade

Happy as a fox out on a midnight raid

Happy as a landlord when his rent gets paid

I'm just like an egg that's fresh I'm newly laid

Yes me with you...
