Lyrics One of These Things First - Nick Drake
I
could've
been
a
sailor,
I
could've
been
a
cook
A
real
live
lover,
I
could've
been
a
book
I
could've
been
a
signpost,
I
could've
been
a
clock
As
simple
as
a
kettle,
steady
as
a
rock
I
could
be
here
and
now
I
would
be,
I
should
be,
but
how?
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
I
could've
been
your
pillar,
I
could've
been
your
door
I
could've
stayed
beside
you,
could've
stayed
for
more
I
could've
been
your
statue,
could've
been
your
friend
A
whole
long
lifetime
could've
been
the
end
I
could
be
yours
so
true
I
would
be,
I
should
be
through
and
through
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
I
could've
been
a
whistle,
could've
been
a
flute
A
real
live
giver,
could've
been
a
boot
I
could've
been
a
signpost,
could've
been
a
clock
As
simple
as
a
kettle,
steady
as
a
rock
I
could
be
even
here
I
would
be,
I
should
be
so
near
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
I
could've
been
One
of
these
things
first
