Auteurs - Dead Sea Navigators lyrics

rate me

Their legend lay in tatters<br />

From perth to john o'groats<br />

The dead sea navigators<br />

Should've been buried at birth<br />

And of course i loved them dearly<br />

And i miss them now they're gone<br />

The dea sea navigators<br />

Wished they'd had a son<br />

<br />

Even in their heyday<br />

No-one like them anyway<br />

Committed boozers 3 a.m. shivers<br />

This one goes out to those not with us<br />

<br />

John the barman and mickey green<br />

This one goes out to all the drinkers<br />

At the red lion<br />

And our friends, though they are few<br />

Angel, johnny, pain, keith charity<br />

This one's for you<br />

And what's left of your nerve will get you through<br />

<br />

From brighton down to eastbourne<br />

Sea sick sailors getting tough<br />

But the dead sea navigators<br />

Were made of stouter stuff<br />

<br />

Golden years, golden years<br />

No-one like them<br />

'cept for us<br />

<br />

Season's ending , all night porters<br />

Thy honour defending with last orders<br />

<br />

All the sunbathers<br />

Staring at the sun<br />

This one goes out to the<br />

Invisible children - as yet unborn<br />

And our friends<br />

Though they are few<br />

Overcoat boys with more brains than brawn<br />

This one's for you<br />

And all that sail in the<br />

Deas sea navigators<br />

This one's for you
