To The Lifeboats Lyrics

Thomas Dolby To The Lifeboats

In dreams the skies are azure blue The sea's a mirror pond Then you wake up to howling wind and rain Upon your rooftiles It won't be long It won't be very long now, Caroline

The superstitious sailors of old Refused to learn to swim But there's no need to drown these days Cause we've got lifeboats. Where are the lifeboats? There are no lifeboats. There are no f..cking lifeboats...

There's a freak storm blowing in In from the Arctic There's a freak storm blowing in In from the Poles I'll be the last to leave the bridge The last rat off your ship, England!

By dawn we are the castaways The turtles on a log We're drifting off the coast of France And listing sideways It won't be long It won't be very long now, Caroline
