Colin Newman - Marooned lyrics

An unwilling sailor adrift from Arctic waters As the water gets warmer, my iceberg gets smaller As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear As the flames get nearer, his thoughts get clearer A blue-white polar bear arrives at the end Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over I'm only a runaway AWOL at the logical start Not present in the present, overboard with limited future And I'm standing alone, still getting a thrill While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat
