Dead Sea Navigators Lyrics

Their legend lay in tatters

 From perth to john o'groats

 The dead sea navigators

 Should've been buried at birth

 And of course i loved them dearly

 And i miss them now they're gone

 The dea sea navigators

 Wished they'd had a son

 

 Even in their heyday

 No-one like them anyway

 Committed boozers 3 a.m. 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

 Sea sick sailors getting tough

 But the dead sea navigators

 Were made of stouter stuff

 

 Golden years, golden years

 No-one like 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

 Deas sea navigators

 This one's for you
