Xtc - The Ship Trapped In The Ice lyrics

Hurry and see, hurry and see The ship trapped in the ice Hurry and see, hurry and see The frost on the rigging superficially nice The captain sold his marbles and the crew lost theirs at dice Hurry and see, hurry and see The ship trapped in the ice How can we free, how can we free The ship trapped in the ice How can we free, how can we free They sailed in the shallows now they've paid the price The captain drank the champagne but it tasted like old spice How can we free, how can we free The ship trapped in the ice And i can only see this wreck with the aid of a drink and a mirror She may look scenic from the shore but you don't wanna come any nearer The captain's box of bu*terflies have all hatched out as lice Hurry and see, hurry and see The ship trapped in the ice And i can only see this wreck with the aid of a drink and a mirror She may look scenic from the shore but you don't wanna come any nearer How can this be, how can this be The ship trapped in the ice How can this be, how can this be The frozen contract has a grip like a vice The captain dreams of flying but he's also scared of heights Oh how can this be, cause boy it's me! The ship trapped in the ice
