ship of fools

Paul Weller

Oh boy! These high seas can be so cruel
When you re trying to find your own way
And girl, that man of war s a fool
I wouldn t follow him anywhere

Big, small, they all swim round their bowls
I don t care for their wishes
All striving to be better than
Those other fishes

Try before the storm
To dive, swim to shore
Til you can t see that boat
Anymore

As the storm takes flight
Still no land in sight
Let the four winds blow
Let em go, let em blow, I know
Til they re so far away

On board this ship of fools we go
I don t care for their wishes
