Words and music by Andrew Dutney
Written in Scotland, 1982

lyrics

There are no strings
We're really flying
If we should falter
We'd really fall
There are no strings
It's what we wanted
So, this is freedom after all

We'd had a plan:
I'd have an office
I'd have a briefcase
And a weekly rail pass
They'd call me "Mister"
And make me coffee
And I'd be happy
Like all the rest

We'd had a plan:
Start with a wedding
Move on to mortgage
And then to babies
We'd had a plan
And then we didn't
And it's that simple
It's that hard

It's hand to mouth
It's heads together
It's prayer and patience
And perseverance
It's on the outside
A little foolish
But on the inside
So very rich
