Thomas Dolby - To The Lifeboats Lyrics
The sea's a mirror pondThen you wake to howling wind and rainUpon your roof tilesIt won't be longIt won't be very long now, CarolineThe superstitious sailors of oldRefused to learn to swimBut there's no need to drown these days'Cause we've got lifeboatsWhere are the lifeboats?There are no lifeboatsThere are no *****ing lifeboatsThere's a freak storm blowing inIn from the ArcticThere's a freak storm blowing inIn from the PolesI'll be the last to leave the bridgeThe last rat off your ship, England!England!By dawn we are the castawaysThe turtles on a logWe're drifting off the coast of FranceAnd listing sidewaysIt won't be longIt won't be very long now, Caroline
