Liner

Liner - The Fixx

Liner it was a fantasy sea cruise

It was a bet destined to lose

Across the waves what was he thinking

Sea shore he had a wet foot in the sand

He was holding U N plans

Across the waves what was he thinking

All aboard before the storm

They've never seer a place like this before

Island in a forgotten latitude

And with colonial attitude

They took the chance for repossession

Grey skies there were no palm trees in the wind

And when a saint starts hiding sins

It's all aboard whilst peace is sinking

All aboard before the storm

Crossing swords before the dawn

Seen before back in an infant's dream

Like a rubber duck floating in the bath

So I sailed away on their time Liner

Taking young lives in their prime Liner

Harbour I saw a flag waving goodbye

I saw a soldier's baby cry

What's it all for that's what I'm thinking

Inside I must he lacking true insight

Because I always sleep at night

Across the waves whilst men are

All aboard before the storm

Crossing swords before the dawn

Seen before back in an infant's dream

Like a rubber duck floating in the bath

So I sailed away on their time Liner

Taking young lives in their prime Liner

Liner To a distant shore

All aboard before the storm
