The Good Ship Lifestyle

Lyrics

Faeroes, Bailey, Fair Isles, Hebrides Malin, Rockall, Shannon, Sole Trafalgar, Finisterre, Irish Sea, Biscay Humber, Portland, Cromarty, Forth, Tyne This is the Good Ship Lifestyle All my friends jumped ship I elect me the captain This is the loneliest voyage I've ever been on Up in the crow's nest Over there! I see land! First mate? There is no first mate This is the Good Ship Lifestyle Sail away from the world Sail away from the world So steer a course A course for nowhere And drop the anchor My little empire I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere This is the Good Ship Lifestyle I fly my very own flag TV dinners for one at the captain's table Repel all the boarders! Draw the curtains tighter Where's the crew? There is no crew This is the Good Ship Lifestyle Sail away from the world Sail away from the world So steer a course A course for nowhere And drop the anchor My little empire I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere Dogger, Fisher, German Bight; Viking, Thames, Dover, Wight Dogger, Fisher, German Bight; Viking, Thames, Dover, Wight Dogger, Fisher, German Bight; Viking, Thames, Dover, Wight Dogger, Fisher, German Bight So steer a course A course for nowhere And drop the anchor My little empire I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) So steer a course (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) A course for nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) And drop the anchor (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) My little empire (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere (This is the Good Ship Lifestyle) I'm going nowhere [Outro/Interlude] (They come up with a flimsy excuse by saying: it's the public or the union, the law.) (We know. We've been outside the law for twelve months.) (The law says we must cross the picket line. We didn't cross the picket line.) (You don't know how I feel when I'm lying in bed at night wondering where tomorrow's dinner's coming from.) (And you don't know how it feels when your son tells you to sell his bike so you can pay the electricity bill.) (I feel like you can only be trodden on so much before you start fighting back.)
