lyrics

-Intro-
It’s often I find myself drinking along,
By choice I should add,
‘cause I don’t want to go home
It’s that time of the night
Inhibitions are low,
You’ve loosened your lips and you go with the flow
But it’s the people I meet, from places far and wide
The stories they tell ya,
The things they confide
Oh it’s now in this hour
The crazy ship sails
Pour us a drink, and unravel your tales


I met a man from Belarus
He said you want to know the truth?
I am a sailor on the run, it’s hard but I get to see the world
You don’t know how good you’ve got it, you got money in your pocket
You don’t live your life in fear,
Your home your life is hear, near

-Chorus-
Oh the crazy ship, this wrecked and gin soaked trip
It’s gone and sailed, sailed
This sunken, drunken boat
Will not much longer float,
But still we drown ourselves until the final call
Two rings of the bell
Once more do they yell,
For time

I saw a guy with such a passion,
He doesn’t care for cotton or lace
He get’s his kicks outa the fashion
Oh rubber puts a smile upon his face
And a lad who’s passion through
From New Zealand Timaru
He said he lives on borrowed time,
but he’s never felt so alive

-Chorus-

-Bridge-
Now raise a glass, to lost friends
Raise your last, and make amends
For this crazy ship
It’s gonna end
Have no regret, make no repent
For alone, we falter
Together we’re crew

I met a man from Belarus,
And once we laid down all our truths
Down a sip of moonshine vodka
Said cheers, Za Zdravje
For tomorrow we leave port
And this whole ships falters one
Nice to meet you, what’s your name
From afar,
Oh it’s John

-Chorus-
