Fourteen Years Lyrics - Deacon Blue

Fourteen years on a steam-pack sonny 

trying to get the kit off my back 

Pushing Shanghai to Liverpool sonny 

Pissing in the wind and the flag 

You're kipping out in the railway station 

Now you've left the navy behind 

You're hoping just to ride 

Fourteen years of belligerence sonny 

Working from Dakar to Belise 

Fourteen years of Marine life, baby 

Trying to keep a man of your knees 

Your kipped out in a railway station 

Now you've left the navy behind
