about

This started out being about one little boat, and ended up being about another little boat entirely. Although both were rather scuzzy, surprisingly popular and usually filled with people with more blood-alcohol than sense...

lyrics

This little boat is now the stuff of memory,
Lost in the wake of far more larger concerns,
But one wave of nostalgic alcoholic photography
Brings it all rushing back,
And my heart and soul start to yearn,

For another weekend wasted with the very best of company,
Another morning after doing nothing at all,
Let me drink one last libation to a thing forever gone,
Sail on, little boat, sail on,

Where once we clung for salvation to the skirting boards,
Instilling horror, hope and humour and pain,
Now slime and sewage stain the seats and water floods the floors
And colours fade away, 'til all that remains

Is another weekend wasted with the very best of company,
Another morning after doing nothing at all,
Let me drink one last libation to a thing forever gone,
Sail on, little boat, sail on.
