lyrics

Last Boat
Verse 1
Well, wouldn’t you like to meet the man, he knows you, he's alright
Well, wouldn’t you ever see the same things as me
Hey there Jim got to swim, missed the last boat home
Meet down at the Cathedral on a windy day in spring
I won't hide in doorways or sever all connections
Well, wouldn’t you like to meet the man
Verse 2
Well, wouldn’t you like to understand, I'll show you that I'm alright
Well, couldn’t you ever be, the ones that came free
The Ocean is something grand, too big for you or I
Meet down at the water, on a clear bright summer night
I won't break until the end or criticise your friends
Well, wouldn’t you like to meet the man
Chorus
All over, it’s unheard of, in society, you're so down it’s all over
Down past the factories, those little shady walks
Hand in Hand in Avenues, up to town forever, up to you tonight
Verse 3
Hey, hey, hey wouldn’t you like to see us hang
We will some day when the time is right
I could never be, the same way to me
She went to the electric chair on a day when she felt just fine
You’re just a cadaver with a penchant for little girls
I'll tell all your friends, and criticise your ways
Hey, hey, hey wouldn’t you like to see us hang
Chorus
