Ocean Colour Scene - Go To Sea lyrics

When you're Twenty-One and North of
The border the chance is
The Military Man will come and
Offer a hand and advances

Go to sea boy go to sea boy, go to sea

With the shipyards sunk on the Clyde
And the junk life is dangerous
With a pocket of woes in this
Perishing hole it's so obvious

Go to sea boy, go to sea boy
Go to sea boy, go to sea

Then you'll sail away and we'll
Teach you a trade that's for life
It's only killing but there's nobody willing
So we're asking on the Clyde

When you're Twenty-One and North of
The border the chance is
You'll sail away to a life
In the dirt then advances
