their legend lay in tatters
|
from perth to john o'groats
|
the dead sea navigators
|
should've been buried at birth
|
and of course i loved them dearly
|
and i miss them now they're gone
|
the dea sea navigators
|
wished they'd had a son
|
|
even in their heyday
|
no-one like them anyway
|
committed boozers 3 a.m. shivers
|
this one goes out to those not with us
|
|
john the barman and mickey green
|
this one goes out to all the drinkers
|
at the red lion
|
and our friends, though they are few
|
angel, johnny, pain, keith charity
|
this one's for you
|
and what's left of your nerve will get you through
|
|
from brighton down to eastbourne
|
sea sick sailors getting tough
|
but the dead sea navigators
|
were made of stouter stuff
|
|
golden years, golden years
|
no-one like them
|
'cept for us
|
|
season's ending , all night porters
|
thy honour defending with last orders
|
|
all the sunbathers
|
staring at the sun
|
this one goes out to the
|
invisible children - as yet unborn
|
and our friends
|
though they are few
|
overcoat boys with more brains than brawn
|
this one's for you
|
and all that sail in the
|
deas sea navigators
|
this one's for you
|
