Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

The Wreck Of The Arthur Lee

The wreck of the Arthur Lee

Will never return again

Never return again

The captain and all his men

Went up and jumped overboard

"Jesus is Lord," they cried

Believe in love!

Believe in love

And I'll believe in you

The missing Avenger planes

Will never return to base-don't you wait up for them

How often have you boys said

"I ain't gonna bump no more."

"We ain't gonna bump no more."

Believe in love! Believe in love!

And I'll believe if you'll believe in me

I got home

There was nobody there

Just the phone

Let it ring in the air

But it's home

The wreck of the Arthur Lee

Will never return again

Never return again
