Lyricist: Cat Stevens
Lyrics:
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
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 you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Review:
Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue
program is this 20-song introduction. The set
surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the
orchestrated late-1960s sides through his
early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s
experiments. Following the progression makes for
an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to
harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that
don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists
of his generation were more gifted when it came to
plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and
his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly
convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career
overview (including one previously unreleased cut)
this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the
chart successes along the way and basically
defining his role as a sensitive '70s
singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the
classic early-'70s studio records, which find
Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc
