The Beautiful South - Carry On Up the Charts - The Best of the Beautiful South

I'll Sail This Ship Alone

If, if you choose that we will always lose
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone
And if, if you decide to give him another try
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone

Well, they said if I wrote the perfect love song
You would take me back
Well, I wrote it, but I lost it
And now will you take me back anyway?

Now if, if you insist that this is for the best
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone
And if, if you swear that you no longer care
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone

I'll sail this ship alone
Between the, the pain and the pleasure
I'll sail this ship alone
Amongst the sharks and the treasure
If you would rather go your way, then go your way
I'll sail this ship alone

If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone, oh-oh
And if, if you agree to him instead of me
Well, then I'll sail this ship alone

Well, they said if I wrote the perfect letter
That I would have a chance
Well, I wrote it, and you burnt it
And now do I have a chance anyway now?

I'll sail this ship alone
Between the, the pain and the pleasure
I'll sail this ship alone
Amongst the, the sharks and the treasure
If you would rather go your way, then go your way
I'll sail this ship alone

Well, they said if I burnt myself alive
That you'd come running back
