lyrics

“Star Sailor”



Verse 1

Blanket around him, bed’s seen better days,
starin’ through the wall at the party next door.
Stashes his pay in an empty film cover,
In ten pounds notes so it looks more.



Verse 2

Joinin’ the club not his cup of tea,
scribblin’ pipe dreams nothin’ to declare.
Postman delivers another package to riches,
Paper tradin’ on the penny shares.



Chorus

But he’ll never give up the ghost,
he’s an in-the-closet failure.
He’s a 3D TV fan,
he’s a star sailor.



Verse 3

Curtain’s kept closed since he got the sack,
comin’ events cast their shadow before.
Tube of hand cream and plasters on the shelf,
Pushin’ a barrow makin’ him sore.


Chorus


Bridge

Pretendin’ he’s asleep, the oldest trick he knows,
the old man’s full, wants to put on a show.
He’ll reap what he sows but his boy’s an also ran,
the child is the father of the man.
Chorus


Newsflash!

“NASA’s Voyager has reached the Solar System’s final frontier.
On Wednesday, it was more than 8 Billion miles from Earth.
This little engine, not designed for this kind of lifetime,
has successfully navigated beyond the Sun’s influence,
and now surfs, in a perfect vacuum...

Godspeed.”
