Sailing Solo Lyrics

	作曲 : Paul Heaton & Dave Rotheray
	作词 : Heaton, Rotheray
	Imagine sailing solo around the world
	Only to find you've missed a continent out
	And as your happy turns choppy and tidal wave swirls
	You're wondering why there's no one about
	At least Captain Scott actually stood on the spot
	Where he planned to put up Union Jack
	And though Captain Cook cursed the map that he took
	He got near enough for native's attack
	That's how it feels trying to navigate you
	Even with compass and infinite time
	Just when I think I've found some part that's new
	I find a flag already up that's not mine
	Circling you is journey minus view
	Exploration without reason or reward
	'Cause when I get near you use an arrow or spear
	To prevent my heart ever being shored
	The earth ain't flat but it's a simple doormat
	Compared to your unclimbable self
	The desolate terrain you have to cross to your brain
	Just one of your slippery shelves
	That's how it feels trying to navigate you
	Even with compass and infinite time
	Just when I think I've found some part that's new
	I find a flag already up that's not mine
	And if I ever get close I'll need a banner or post
	To hang it from, first there or not
	So voyage may uncover a sister or brother
	And a friendship that Colombus forgot.
