To The Lifeboats

In dreams the skies are azure blue
The seas a mirror pond
Then you wake to howling wind and rain
Upon your roof tiles
It wont be long
It wont be very long now,
Caroline
The superstitious sailors of old
Refused to learn to swim
But theres no need to drown these days
Cause weve got lifeboats
Where are the lifeboats?
There are no lifeboats
There are no ******* lifeboats
Theres a freak storm blowing in
In from the Arctic
Theres a freak storm blowing in
In from the Poles
Ill be the last to leave the bridge
The last rat off your ship, England!
England!
By dawn we are the castaways
The turtles on a log
Were drifting off the coast of France
And listing sideways
It wont be long
It wont be very long now, Caroline
