The Beautiful South - I'll Sail This Ship Alone lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

If, if you choose that we will always lose

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

And if, if you decide to give him another try

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song

You would take me back

Well I wrote it but I lost it

And now will you take me back anyway

Now if, if you insist that this is for the best

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

And if, if you swear that you no longer care

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

I'll sail this ship alone

Between the pain and the pleasure

I'll sail this ship alone

Amongst the sharks and the treasure

If you would rather go your way then go your way

I'll sail this ship alone

If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

And if, if you agree to him instead of me

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter

That I would have a chance

Well I wrote it, and you burnt it

And now do I have a chance anyway

If, if you swear that you no longer care

Well then I'll sail this ship alone

I'll sail this ship alone

Between the pain and the pleasure

I'll sail this ship alone

Amongst the sharks and the treasure

If you would rather go your way then go your way

I'll sail this ship alone

Well they said if I burnt myself alive

That you'd come running back
