The Auteurs - Dead Sea Navigators lyrics

Their legend lay in tatters
From Perth to John O'Groats
The dead sea navigators
Should've been separated at birth

And of course i love them dearly
And I'll miss them now they're gone
Dead sea navigators wished they'd had a son

Even in their heyday no-one liked them
Anyway

Committed boozers, 4 am shivers
This one goes out to those not with us

John the barman and mickey green
This one goes out to all the drinkers at the
Red lion

And our friends, though they are few
Angel, Johnny, Pain, Keith, Charity
This one's for you

And what's left of your nerve
Will get you through

From Brighton down to Eastbourne
Seasick sailors getting tough
Dead sea navigators
Were made of stouter stuff

Golden years golden years
No-one liked them 'Cept for us

Season's ending all night porters
Thy honour defending with last orders

All the sunbathers staring at the sun
This one goes out to the invisible children
As yet unborn

And our friends though they are few
Overcoat boys with more brains than brawn
This one's for you and all that sail in the
Dead sea navigators this one's for you

And all that sail in the dead sea navigators
This one's for you

And all that sail in the dead sea navigators
This one's for you
