Priestman joined the Royal Navy in 1672 and his first command was as second lieutenant on HMS Antelope. In August 1673 he was promoted to the command of HMS Richmond.

In January 1678 he was appointed to HMS Swan, and later in the year returned to HMS Antelope. In 1681, he commanded HMS Reserve, and in May 1683 was appointed to HMS Bonaventure. Soon after he was appointed Commodore and Commander-in-Chief of ships in the Straits but was prevented by sickness from taking part in the only opportunity for action that was presented to him during his career.

When I first met you petrol was cheap
So was the company that I chose to keep
You saw something in me, you said it was fate
And babe I'm still feeling it, everytime we take
One more bite of the cherry, one more sip from the vine
You're extraordinary, you get better with time
So don't cry to the mirror as the pages get turned
'Cos grey's the new blonde as far as I'm concerned
I just don't know how we've weathered the storm
'Cos the law of averages says we ain't the norm
Maybe we got lucky or maybe we made sense
There's no need to question it, let's say it was meant
One more bite of the cherry, one more sip from the vine
You're extraordinary, you get better with time
So don't cry to the mirror as the pages get turned
'Cos grey's the new blonde as far as I'm concerned
Baby dry those tears from your eyes
You know it makes me sad to see you cry
Well maybe we got lucky or maybe we made sense
Hey there's no need to question it, let's say it was
meant
One more bite of the cherry, one more sip from the vine
You're extraordinary, you get better with time
So don't cry to the mirror as the pages get turned
'Cos grey's the new blonde as far as I'm concerned
One more bite of the cherry, one more sip from the vine
You're extraordinary, you get better with time
So don't cry to the mirror as the pages get turned
