The Roches - So lyrics

So maybe another way would have been better If you had been older or had known a thing or two before you set sail for the New World Sail for the New World, mate All this ships ahoy Trouble is all of the things I hate But I'm still a young boy In the meantime a chance in the form of a light Makes a man take a stance and dash his boat up on the rocks In the dead of night So what if you had been lucky then What would it make you? So there'd be a statue so people won't forget you set sail for the New World Sail for the New World, mate Let's not and say we did Trouble comes and it seals your fate As you turn into the skid Sail for the New World, mate All ships ahoy Trouble comes when you graduate But I'm still a young boy
