Auteurs - Dead Sea Navigators Lyrics
Their legend lay in tattersFrom perth to john ogroatsThe dead sea navigatorsShouldve been buried at birthAnd of course I loved them dearlyAnd I miss them now theyre goneThe dea sea navigatorsWished theyd had a sonEven in their heydayNo-one like them anywayCommitted boozers 3 a.m. shiversThis one goes out to those not with usJohn the barman and mickey greenThis one goes out to all the drinkersAt the red lionAnd our friends, though they are fewAngel, johnny, pain, keith charityThis ones for youAnd whats left of your nerve will get you throughFrom brighton down to eastbourneSea sick sailors getting toughBut the dead sea navigatorsWere made of stouter stuffGolden years, golden yearsNo-one like themcept for usSeasons ending , all night portersThy honour defending with last ordersAll the sunbathersStaring at the sunThis one goes out to theInvisible children - as yet unbornAnd our friendsThough they are fewOvercoat boys with more brains than brawnThis ones for youAnd all that sail in theDeas sea navigatorsThis ones for you
