Album: Never Turn Your Back on a Friend (1973)

Poles appreciated Budgie Already in the 1970s, the band was popular thanks to Radio Three presenters (Piotr Kaczkowski) ,, Parents deserves more recognition than Stairs to Heaven ".
One of my favorite songs along with zoom club. Definately the most underrated rock band. So much emotion in their music.
When I was a little boy
They would say to me
Don't go in the world and play
It's bad company
All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait
Just to find out what it was to be free
But now I'm over twenty one
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be
Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.
Oh the road is long
Oh the road is long
Come on back, back.
Wash your hands and up to bed
Mind your manners
Or you're dead
Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday
Put my trust in God
Who is he I know not what
Something mummy said one Sunday.
Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day.
Now there's no one near me now
Tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away.
Take me let me sing my cares away
Oh! the road is there
Oh that road is there
Come on back, back.
Oh! I'm empty now
Rainy pain has left me now.
Think of what my people used to say.
Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
Guide me to a place where I can stay.
Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
Only now I realise what my parents had to try.
Love you all and keep you all my life.
Oh that road is there
Oh the road is there
Come on back, back.
I had forgotten Budgie. Having a great time today recalling their wonderful music. Saw them live in LA back in the late 70s (I think). Took a friend who didn't know them at all and he was blown away … appropriately!
My alltime Budgie song. Second is Naoleon Bonaparte I&II.
,,,,, great, strong, music like this will never get old and will never die – thanx to people like us.

Wg mnie ten utwór jest jednym z najlepszych w historii rocka. Można by wymienić może kilka równie znakomitych i to wszystko.
One of the better English bands, ive heard
Budgie was the shit….Too bad i didnt realize it till i got older but im still jamming to them nowadays..
Este es el grupo de los 70' con éxitos como este, pero nunca fueron populares ,creo que son del agrado de ayer, hoy y siempre ,de los que llevamos el rock en la sangre ,Budgie uno de mis favoritos de siempre!!!! Salve salve rocanroll!!!!!
total brilliance 143 thumbs down you aint going to heaven.
The best song ever heard🤘

Love this song, reminds me of long hot summer's when I was a kid growing up with my lovely parents.
Give them a hug & a kiss you miss them when they're gone…
What a great track, just rediscovered it after 40 years
Budgie rule

God bless the band
the same occurs to me to say….most underrated band ever…so wrong and strange that such shallow bands as zz top and the likes are more popular
Masterworks of art never become old.
