Lyrics The Rumjacks

The Rumjacks

Down With The Ship

She's hanging round the bar ‘cause there's beer for sale

I'm not going down down with the ship no

A fun night heads, a bad one tails

I'm not goin' down down with the ship

She's lookin' for a love from a magazine

And a wind swept gondola dream boat dream

A white picket fence that she found on a scene

While waitin' for the ship to go down

Spoons in the sink but they're full of holes

I'm not going down down with the ship no

Don't trust your mates, the number one rule

I'm not going down with the ship no

They tell themselves it's under control

Still got mounds if they ain't got souls

More money in dope than there is on the dole

While waitin' for the ship to go down

I stood at the scene and I wondered why

I'm not going down down with the ship no

I spend my time with junkies and liars

I'm not going down down with the ship

There's more romance in a ministers pants

Then there is in this scene and its sad piss-ants

Yes today I'll down tomorrow I'll dance

Not waitin' for the ship to go down

Posh scones for breakfast buttered like toast

I'm not going down down with the ship no

And lost ideas as it drips down the coast

I'm not going down down with the ship

Got a king size belly and a fat TV

And a pile of wine soaked dvds

The late night come and the internet sleeps

While you're waitin' for the ship to go down

She's hanging round the bar ‘cause there's beer for sale

I'm not going down down with the ship no

It's a fun night heads, it's a bad one tails

I'm not going down down with the ship no

Shes lookin' for a love from a magazine

And a windswept gondola dream boat dream

And a white picket fence that she found on a scene

While waitin' for the ship to go down
