Dave Dobbyn - Loyal Lyrics






I can't remember
Last time I thanked you
Keeping my distance
Unintentionally
Too close for comfort
Just ain't close enough
If I could have more time
We would brainstorm
And I love you tender
But we must walk away
Keeping you on my
Greeting card file
And if it were different
Did you know it ain't
Let's get on with it, love

Call me loyal
I'll say you're loyal too
Know you're loyal
I feel your loyal truth
Call me loyal
I'll hold you loyal too
And we are loyal
Keep it that way

Out in the battle
Flung far and used
Where does allegiance lie?
Sometimes, when all of your hopes
And all of your dreams
Are too much to value
In one moment
And all of us anxious
But why hurry, love?
History's here and now, oh
And why are you waiting?
Waiting for what?
The history of some love

Call me loyal
I'll say you're loyal too
Know you're loyal
I feel your loyal truth
Call me loyal
I'll hold you loyal too
And we are loyal
Keep it that way, baby

We are loyal
Haven't you known me long enough, girl?
If I could see your heart right now
Maybe there'd be a change or two

(And you could)
Call me loyal
I'll say you're loyal too
Know you're loyal
I feel your loyal truth
Call me loyal
I'll hold you loyal too
And we are loyal
Keep it that way

Loyal
I'll say you're loyal too
Know you're loyal
I will feel your loyal truth
Call me loyal
I will hold you loyal too
And we are loyal
Keep it that way

Dave Dobbyn Loyal Comments
  1. S.... ....

    New Zealand produces an amazing quantity of brilliant musicians/composers but as usual us Aussies stick our stamp of ownership on them. Dragon comes to mind as well as many other great artists. I haven't heard this for decades but it popped into my mind just five minutes ago. Ain't the internet great.

  2. P.... E....

    DD smash Yer bro

  3. M.... F....

    This always reminds me of the doomed 2003 America's cup campaign with the Hula boat. 😓😓

  4. M.... D....

    One of the best songs out to sing with ya mates ,back in the day we had some good times ,👍 Supa cachty

  5. J.... N....

    Bro..Bros.. This is the first time I had seen this video. I had only seen the studio recording and clips. Cool.

  6. L.... T....

    This video has make in 1988 years old Dave dobbyn singing loyal at his house

  7. L.... T....

    I like Dave dobbyn

    L.... T....

    Has a toy poodle dog

  8. T.... 1....

    Why am I only hearing this song now, at 16?

    I should know this by now.

    Maybe I do, probably didn't :(

  9. P.... C....

    Just think: that house would be worth millions now. No chance of an ordinary bloke swanning around singing about his emotional failures.

    I can't remember last time I thanked you,
    Keeping my distance unintentionally.
    Too close for comfort, just ain't close enough.
    If I could have more time we would brainstorm.
    And I love you tender, but we must walk away,
    Keeping you on my greeting card file.
    And if it were different did you know it ain't?
    Let's get on with it love

    And call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.
    I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,
    Call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,
    And we are loyal, keep it that way

    Keep it that way girl
    Out in the battle, flung far and used.
    Where does allegiance lie?
    Sometimes when all of your hopes, and all of your dreams,
    Are too much to value in one moment.
    And all of us anxious, but why hurry love?
    History's here and now.
    Oh and why are you waiting waiting for what?
    The history of some love?

    And call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.
    I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,
    And call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,
    And we are loyal, keep it that way baby

    And we are loyal - haven't you known me long enough girl?
    If I could see your heart right now,
    Maybe there'd be a change or two.

    And you can call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.
    I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,
    And call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,
    And we are loyal, keep it that way

    Loyal! I will say you're loyal too!
    I know you're loyal I will feel your loyal truth,
    And call me loyal I will hold you loyal too,
    And we are loyal, keep it that way baby

    Keep it that way baby,
    Keep it that way now!

  16. I.... G....

    am i the only one who has come to dislike this song SIMPLY because its the music on the menu of the dvd version of nature's best? hahaha still a bop but damn that start irks me

  17. W.... M....

    Great song all together learnt this song from mum a great Dave dobbyn fan proud to a New Zealander 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿👍

  18. C.... G....

    ..bro in the 90s after polytech id go to a mates and always play Dave ...after a while he smashed up the cd 😂

  19. A.... C....

    Boah, what more wordy to say

  20. J.... B....

    Loyal is like the new anthem of aotearoa

  21. V.... N....

    Good ol kiwi favourite
    Legend Dave!

  22. b.... o....

    This was filmed in one continuous take .
    Rewatch it with that in mind .

    I believe it is Debbie Harwood who plays the female character lead in this . LOYAL.
    The Video Director is Kerry Brown

  23. M.... I....

    David Bain wants his jersey back

    M.... I....

    David want's his life back...

    M.... I....

    @Sam 313 David is the only one left alive, so I think he's OK in that regard. Maybe you mean Robin or Stephen

    M.... I....

    You know what i meant, he was acquitted.. So i meant time he spent behind bars, that was stolen from his life.. My uncle was a detective in the arthur allan thomas case, he quit the police force because, he said they planted evidence on him.. and guess what, he was innocent, and so was david..

    M.... I....

    @Sam 313 Opinion. I agree with you about AAT - everyone knows it was the grandfather and the cops planted the shell casings. Bain, not so much.

    M.... I....

    Yeah AAT was a setup, Bain was too. I use to think he was guilty, and for a very long time, i did not change my opinion .. these days i'm not so sure. I feel the police fucked him over like aat.. Have a good a night mate, im off to bed..

  24. A.... C....

    Very straight. Wish some "friends" would be as Authentic
