This is the Good Ship Lifestyle
All my friends jumped ship
I elect me the captain
This is the loneliest voyage
I've ever been on

Up in the crow's nest
Over there! I see land!
First mate? There is no first mate
This is the Good Ship Lifestyle

Sail away from the world
Sail away from the world

So steer a course a course for nowhere
And drop the anchor my little empire


I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere

This is the Good Ship Lifestyle
I fly my very own flag
TV dinners for one at the captain's table

Repel all the boarders!
Draw the curtains tighter
Where's the crew? There is no crew
This is the Good Ship Lifestyle

Sail away from the world
Sail away from the world

So steer a course a course for nowhere
And drop the anchor my little empire
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere

Dogger, Fisher, German Bight
Viking, Thames, Dover, wight
Dogger, Fisher, German Bight
Viking, Thames, Dover, wight
Dogger, Fisher, German Bight
Viking, Thames, Dover, wight
Dogger, Fisher, German Bight

So steer a course a course for nowhere
And drop the anchor my little empire
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)

So steer a course
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
A course for nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
And drop the anchor
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
My little empire
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere
(This is the Good Ship Lifestyle)
I'm going nowhere

(They come up with a flimsy excuse by
Saying: it's the public or the union
The law, We know we've been outside the
Law for twelve months)
(The law says we must cross the picket
Line we didn't cross the picket line)

(You don't know how I feel when I'm lying in
Bed at night wondering where
Tomorrow's dinner's coming from)
(And you don't know how it feels
When your son tells you
To sell his bike so you
Can pay the electricity bill)

(I feel like you can only be trodden on
So much before you start fighting back)
