The Castle CD reissue of The Fiddler's Dream has a bonus CD with several BBC recordings of You Can't Change Me Now. And Barry recorded it again in 1994 for his solo CD Be Your Own Man. I've just copied the lyrics from the liner note onto my Mainly Norfolk website, hopefully without typos:


YOU CAN'T CHANGE ME NOW
(as sung by Dransfield)
Songwriter??

Today I feel like I've done it all,
I've run my head against every wall.
I hate to say it but I think its true:
I've done all the growing that I'm gonna do.

Chorus (after each verse):
    'Cause you can't change me now
    No you can't change me now
    Been held too long and now I'm gone
    And you can't change me now

Sometimes I feel like a fish in a bowl,
The circles tying up my soul.
Come on and stick me with a pin:
I bet you I won't feel a thing.

Doctor, doctor please don't frown,
I'm walking a foot above the ground.
I'm treading air, I'm looking for health.
Oh forget it, doctor, I'll cure myself.

Can a man reach the end of the line
Where the mud's all honey, the water's wine?
Please don't make me go and join
Those white faced children on the early train.
