To The Lifeboats

In dreams the skies are azure blue
 The sea's a mirror pond
 Then you wake to howling wind and rain
 Upon your roof tiles
 It won't be long
 It won't be very long now,
 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 fucking 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
 The last rat off your ship, England!
 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
