I’m on a lonely ship lost in a sea

If I could kiss you I would be free

I’m in a vice-like grip and I can’t compete

Nothing lasts forever, especially deceit

With your love, there could be a better day

With your love, the wind could chase the clouds away

You know what I’m after, I know what you’ve done

With your love, we could be one

So many things to do, so little time

I’ll never forget this unspeakable crime

So many abstract thoughts, pinned to the floor

Never surrender, just keep it in store

With your love, there could be a better day

With your love, the wind could chase the clouds away

You know what I’m after, I know what you’ve done

With your love, we could be one

I got room for manoeuvre, I got space to spare

I got dust in my hoover, ice in my frigidaire

I got a big pile of paper, gonna make it disappear

But it’ll be high as a mountain when the morning’s here

Well. I’m going down to Hecky on that 259

Gonna meet my Medusa on that Spen Valley line

I was born at an angle, my mama was an acrobat

My old man was a dustman, he wore a dustman’s hat

I got room for manoeuvre, I got space to spare

I got dust in my hoover, ice in my frigidaire
