Sinking Ships - Milburn
I don't want to talk to you and
You don't want to talk to me
So I'll shut my eyes
And think of England
While I speak
You don't want my photograph
And I don't want to know your name
You say we look the same
Like everybody else
Maybe that's because
We like to keep ourselves to ourselves
You want something different
You want something false
You want your opinion
To always be involved
That won't last at all
No that's not natural
If you should change your colours
Or you should change your mind
I won't go holding grudges
Let sleeping dogs lie
Oh how you'd love it
If wed disappeared
Along the horizon
Going down like sinking ships
In the night time
No one came to save our souls
No one came to fix the holes
But we made it back to land
So if youve backed the underdog
You may collect your winnings
If you could change your colours
Or you should change your mind
I won't go holding grudges
Let sleeping dogs lie
But by the same token
I cannot forget
How you hanged
Drawn and quartered
Those you don't respect
So I will not pretend
You and I want to be friends
Cos we both know
That that would be a lie
