Linnet Woods singing one of her songs and accompanying herself on the guitar.
Singer/songwriter since 1965. Have published a few songs, in the distant past, for other artists to use but this is the first time I have released any performed
Story behind the song
In 1982 it seemed to me an awful lot of people were somehow unwilling to be themselves, preferring to fit in with the crowd even if it meant they were living a life that wasn't all that enjoyable. I suppose this song addressed itself to that issue :-)
Lyrics
When you say that you want me to
stay with you,
are you handing me a line?
Will you still say the things you do
need me too
if your future's tied up with mine?
With your whole life in front of you,
there for you,
there are so many ways you could go
if you wanted to,
you could always do anything
it's all open to you.
There is no rule that says
you can't do what you want
if you're willing to pay the price.
You know the price you'll pay,
you know the price you'll pay
There are those who would shackle you,
strangle you,
suffocate your spirit,
rule your world.
Other people, restricting you,
telling you,
you'll never amount to much
in this life.
In case you think
it's only other guys who win
I'd better tell you that
they all had to begin somewhere...
With your whole life in front of you
there for you
there are so many things you could do
if you wanted to
you could always go anywhere,
it's all open to you.
There is no rule that says
you can't do what you want
if you're willing to pay the price.
You know the price you'll pay,
you know the price you'll pay
In case you think
it's only other guys who win
I'd better tell you that
they all had to begin somewhere...
In case you think
it's only other guys who win
I'd better tell you that
they all had to begin somewhere.
