Oh it`s like a storm at sea
And everything is lost,
And the fretful sailors calling out their woes,
As to the waves they`re tossed.
Oh they are all gentlemen,
And never will they know
If there is a reason each of them must go,
To join the cruel flow.
And it`ll take a long, long time.
It`ll take a long, long time.
It`ll take a long, long time.
Oh it`ll take such a long, long time.
There is no need for rules,
There`s no-one to score the game
And there is nobody living in this town
As even knows its name.
Oh it`ll take such a long, long time.
It`ll take a long, long time.
It`ll take a long, long time.
A long, long time.
