Chorus

Is that your big

Ship

Coming in

On the ocean

 

Will you sink or swim

Ride the waves

Or drown in a sea

Of emotion

 

You are only as good

As the last note you played

If you could, only

Hang on to those days

 

Just a little while longer

 

Verse 1

33 to 1

Long on the odds

Short on the substance

Here comes the sun

Looking like a tired dog

On heat begging for a chance

Verse 2

Could I be king

Living high on the hog

For at least 24 hours

As Frank Sinatra sings

About talking the talk

Says a gentleman always bring flowers

 

Verse 3

I still hear them laugh

Like little boys and girls

At bedtime

He said don’t be sad

It’s everybody’s world

At least once in a lifetime

 

M8

Only fools

Hold out hope

For something

Much more than this

 

If you down tools

Cut the cord, cut the rope

Start running

Into your future, into the abyss

 

Who is going to look after,

Your little sister

When she skins her heart

When she skins her knees

 

And there is no one

To paper over the cracks

When Terry Jacks

Starts singing

Season’s in the sun
