Favourite Thing I Own Songtext
von Beans on Toast

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
