Liner, it was a fantasy sea cruise
|
It was a bet destined to lose
|
Across the waves, what was he thinking?
|
Sea shore, he had a wet foot in the sand
|
He was holding U.N. plans
|
Across the waves. what was he thinking?
|
All aboard before the storm
|
They've never seer a place like this before
|
|
Island in a forgotten latitude
|
And with colonial attitude
|
They took the chance for repossession
|
Grey skies there were no palm trees in the wind
|
And when a saint starts hiding sins
|
It's all aboard whilst peace is sinking
|
All aboard before the storm
|
Crossing swords before the dawn
|
Seen before, back in an infant's dream
|
Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath
|
|
So I sailed away on their time, Liner!
|
Taking young lives in their prime, Liner!
|
|
Harbour, I saw a flag waving goodbye
|
I saw a soldier's baby cry
|
What's it all for, that's what I'm thinking
|
Inside, I must he lacking true insight
|
Because I always sleep at night
|
Across the waves whilst men are . . .
|
All aboard before the storm
|
Crossing swords before the dawn
|
|
Seen before back in an infant's dream
|
Like a rubber duck, floating in the bath
|
|
So I sailed away on their time, Liner!
|
Taking young lives in their prime, Liner!
|
Liner! To a distant shore
|
All aboard before the storm
|
