Beans On Toast Favourite Thing I Own song lyrics

It was a long time ago when we first met

Down Tin Pan Alley, you were sitting in the shop

When something made me want to give you a try

You were a little bit better than my average sort

But I gathered up the courage and I gave it a shot

And I grabbed you without even thinking why

And I held you really closely by my side

You looked and you played and you felt real good

I took you home without a second thought

Oh Martin, that was just the start

Oh since then we ain't ever been apart

I've written all my songs on you, I've played all of my gigs with you

I carry you everywhere I go

So Martin, don't you go nowhere

Unless you know that I'm going to be there

That's the way it's always been, that's the way we roll

Oh Martin, you're the favourite thing I own

Well, you called me a poet and I called you a girl

But that didn't work out with your name so well

We travelled and we sang to each other

And every single song we sang together

When I sent you packing to the USA

I saw photos of the scars the very next day

Came rushing there to be right by your side

Oh Martin, it's been one hell of a ride

I've written all my songs on you, I've played all of my gigs with you

I carry you everywhere I go

So Martin, don't you go nowhere

Unless you know that I'm going to be there

That's the way it's always been, that's the way we roll

Oh Martin, you're the favourite thing I own

Oh Martin, you're the favourite thing I own
