The Well-Travelled Man - Skyclad[00:00:00]

Seems so many years now since he set off down the road[00:00:24]

For the bright lights of the city and his story to unfold[00:00:30]

No strings no family plans no ties to hold him down[00:00:37]

His first avowed intent to leave this dormitory town[00:00:41]

At first he lay just dreaming till he hit upon a plan[00:00:47]

To be a true civilian and a well-travelled man[00:00:53]

His father told him: "Listen son the world lies at your feet[00:01:42]

Great lands of opportunity and strangers all to meet[00:01:48]

So seize the day go make your mark[00:01:53]

'Cause fortune loves the brave[00:01:56]

So many places to be seen[00:01:58]

Before you see your grave[00:02:01]

See the stars shoot over Cape Town[00:02:03]

Where the oceans all converge[00:02:06]

Ride the desert train at midnight[00:02:09]

Even sail the universe"[00:02:11]

Gather round come one come all[00:02:17]

Listen best ye can[00:02:20]

Raise a glass and give a cheer[00:02:23]

You can see all at once he's a well-travelled man[00:02:25]

That long and dusty trail it ran to anywhere but home[00:02:39]

Dined equally with pagan chiefs and emperors of Rome[00:02:44]

Through ages dark and winters long lost in the strangest lands[00:02:49]

Through countless revolutions saw man's cruelty to man[00:02:55]

Been a butcher been a saviour[00:03:00]

Been a friend you wouldn't choose[00:03:03]

Built temples and filled graveyards[00:03:05]

For the side that couldn't lose[00:03:08]

Would you walk with him as spirits[00:03:11]

In the quiet of the night[00:03:13]

And seek to have the power[00:03:16]

For to set the world to right [00:03:19]

Gather round come one come all[00:03:25]

Listen best ye can[00:03:27]

Raise a glass and give a cheer[00:03:30]

You can see all at once he's a well-travelled man[00:03:32]

Gather round come one come all[00:03:35]

Listen best ye can[00:03:38]

Raise a glass and give a cheer[00:03:41]

You can say what you like he's a well-travelled man[00:03:43]

Seems so many years now since he set off all alone[00:03:59]

To see the wonders of this world prove the stories he'd been sold[00:04:05]

Seeks the milk of human kindness and he takes it where he can[00:04:11]

From the yachts of Monte Carlo to a teahouse in Japan[00:04:16]

But now he sits forsaken with a beer glass in his hand[00:04:22]

Won't anybody listen to the well-travelled man [00:04:28]
