Father and Son Lyrics
Artist(Band):Cat Stevens
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)

Review about Father and Son
it's an excellent song | Reviewer: koyaychan | 7/27/2008
i've been listening to this father & son song .
i felt so strange to listen it. It described the love of father to his son. i sang this song infront of my great father to honor him indeep .
cos, he's been advising me how to settle down in life, he knew that i was lack of life experience to step the new coming days. thank father , and thank indeep Cat & Ronan
comments on father and son | Reviewer: hicham el yahyaoui | 3/28/2008
I am a moroccan teacher. I teach English. I really enjoy teaching this song in my class.My students like the content of the song very much. If you are teaching English as a foreign langauge. Please try father and son.It is about a father trying to advise his son since the father thinks that his son does not have much experience in life.the problem is that the father only gives advice without trying to listen to his son.( ..there is a huge gap between the two....)

concernin' the plot is about generation conflict in general.

Loved the song from the first time I heard it in the 70s. Saw Cat perform it live in Australia back then and hope he will come out again one day.

now i think .. tomorrow ill go away frome my home ... because i hate .. i hate this family ... no happy .. no smile ... just cry .. cry .... so i think the son in this song is right ... im not sure ..... but tomorrow i still go ...
What's the song is about | Reviewer: Mike-00 | 6/11/2007
The song is about a father's love for his son . The father is giving his son some advise in his life , and urges his son to take life at ease day by day ; But the son wants to make his own decisions in his life . So no matter how hard he tries to tell his father ,his dad urges him to sit down and listen to his advice about life . Suddenly , the son decides it might be best if he leaves his dad ; But his father insist that he stays and take his words of wisdom through life .
Cat Steven & Boyzone | Reviewer: Kenny | 5/26/2007
