"Slat fare, North sea"
Roll on, roll off
With these words I drown
Topmast secured
Hatches battened down
Sometimes I think
It must be different on land
But from the mast I can only see tyrants
Still in command [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chumbawamba/salt_fare_north_sea.html ]
"Salt fare, North Sea"
Fish & Chip supper
Battered, no bones
Hung, drawn and quoted
And drifting alone
One thousand lashes
For the Age of Reason
Salt for your wounds
When the codæ¯ in season
"Salt fare, North sea"
We reach the horizon
And sail over the edge
Drunk on our memories
More sober than a judge
Iæ¦ wasting time
That I canæ° afford -
I know Iæ die on the gallows
Before Iæ die of being bored
