(brooker / trower / reid)

There's you, you're sleeping over there
Whilst me i'm sitting here
With so much sea between us
I can't make it much more clear
There'll be no time for crying
We won't make it more than six
I could change my plea to guilty
But i don't think it would stick
Still those other ratings far too easy to despise
You've said so much in silence now i truly am disguised

Let him who fears his heart alone
Stand up and make a speech
For him perhaps an emperor's throne
If he could only speak
Far too few and far to follow
For shame i'll heed the cry
Be with me when i need a drink
Be with me when i die
Still those other ratings far too easy to despise
You've said so much in silence now indeed i am disguised
