Description
Another re-load, I'm afraid. Did this in 2005. Have put up several subsequent versions with better musicians collaborating.

Lyrics
If you give me some money
I\'ll sing you a song
Do you think that I do this for free?
but you better be fast
cause i\'m watching the glass
And the water is rising round me
The captain is drunk
and the crew have all jumped ship
the compass aint working no more.
I\'m here on the deck
of this smouldering wreck
I\'m looking for signs of a shore
Some people are lucky
some people are not.
Can you gu ess which of these I might be?
But don\'t waste my time
I\'m not sure I can swim
and the water\'s still rising round me
I wish someone knew
where we are, all I know is
I\'m not where I wanted to be.
I\'m keepig my eyes on the distant horizon
but I can\'t see nothing but sea
If you give me some money
I\'ll sing you a song
Do you think that I do this for free?
But you better be fast
get up off your arse
cause the water is rising round me
I\'ll sing you a song
Do you think that I do this for free?
but you better be fast
cause i\'m watching the glass
And the water is rising round me
The captain is drunk
and the crew have all jumped ship
the compass aint working no more.
I\'m here on the deck
of this smouldering wreck
I\'m looking for signs of a shore
Some people are lucky
some people are not.
Can you gu ess which of these I might be?
But don\'t waste my time
I\'m not sure I can swim
and the water\'s still rising round me
I wish someone knew
where we are, all I know is
I\'m not where I wanted to be.
I\'m keepig my eyes on the distant horizon
but I can\'t see nothing but sea
If you give me some money
I\'ll sing you a song
Do you think that I do this for free?
But you better be fast
get up off your arse
cause the water is rising round me

this is quite cool! (i'm sorry, i just have trouble calling you "village idiot"). i like when the drumming comes in - bumping it up a notch. these are strong lyrics ("the water is rising round me" is particularly good!) nice work um ..... mr. village :)
