Go Down
Written by Malcolm
(David Gunnip’s roommate 1974)


Have you ever claimed you’d be someone famous
Singing for the king and his queen
Sticking to the truth and not a soul would believe it
They laughed said they’d wait and see

So if you go West –bring me the mountains
If you go East –bring me the sea
And if you go North – bring me the ice and snow
If you go down, go down

When I was a babe I was called precocious
Cause I wrote a melody well
But promises and praise took it all out of focus
And pride made a foolish head swell

So if you have a dream be prepared to defend her
Cause an arrow needs a steady bow
Ambition is a force you should never surrender

You believe in love well I believe in sorrow
Love can make a well run dry
Too much of one and a heart goes hollow
Wisdom is a look at both sides

(chorus)

Puppies love to play and a cat sleeps the day out
Hunters work best at night
Jumping in the sun can bring you the hunger
Strike when the hour is right

If you have a dream be prepared to defend her
For an arrow needs a steady bow
Ambition is a force you should never surrender

So look for an angel listen for an answer
Wish for a wizard’s spell
You ask anyone whose been in the trades
Baby you know the boundaries well

(chorus)
