Load The Boat

Load the boat up
 Load the boat up
 Load the boat up
 Load the boat up
 Isn't there anyone not amazed
 That there's still fish to fry
 Hats to try
 And not everybody's crazed
 In order to ratchet up this and that
 You got a plot to write every night
 Did they never tell you that?
 You gotta keep on rowing
 You gotta feast on crumbs
 But when the lights are glowing
 And the landfall comes
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 Not that there's anything much to blame
 Still, you must wonder why
 Every time
 The dead all look the same
 We do a lot of things
 All the time
 We can be pragmatists, animists,
 Something along those lines
 You put the nose to windward
 You gotta inch it round
 You gotta hope for nothing
 But if it stops pissing down
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 Back there in '85, that whole scene
 They said there were rainy days on the way
 Just thought they were being mean
 You have a right to your attitude
 Still you just have to say
 That old way
 Was effective if fairly crude
 You gotta try and not swallow
 You gotta not inhale
 You gotta keep on going
 And if the crop don't fail
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta watch for shallows
 You gotta not look down
 You're chasing death already
 Every day is gravy now
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
 You gotta load the boat up
