Lyrics of Roger D’Arcy – Lifeboat

I would leave the beaten track for you but I’m no guide
Change horses in mid stream for you but I don’t ride
I’d keep my feelings out of sight but I’ve no place to hide
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

I’d tell you that I understand but I don’t lie
Save the day like Superman but I don’t fly
I’d wipe away the tears for you but I’m the one who cries
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools, they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in

I would turn and fight another day but I won’t swerve
Fall upon my knees to pray but I don’t serve
I’d gladly sell my soul for you but I know what it’s worth
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools and they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in’

Far too many souls climbed in

There’s nothing I can leave behind that I can spare
You’re wrong to think that I’m unkind, that I don’t care
It’s too late for you to look for me ‘cos I’m no longer there
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools. they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in

Lyrics of Roger D’Arcy – Fortune

If I find my fortune I will gve it all to you
I don’t care for rich folk or the things they like to do
You would use it wisely, you would not give in to greed
If I kept it I’d just buy guitars that I don’t need

I’m fine with nothing

I have known good people, all the best of them were broke
What they had, they’d gladly share, I listened when they spoke
Never spent their time on chasing shiny things to own
I’d have joined them long ago if only I had known

I’m fine with nothing
And I can wait for summer for this cold to pass
And I can kill this hunger with another glass
Just give me one more for the road
Sometimes nothing can be the coolest hand to hold

We can wander round for years and never get too far
Seems we must get lost before we work out who we are
And dreams can get all tangled up in complicated plans
Do your best to save your own, come find me when you can

I’m fine with nothing
And I can wait for summer for this cold to pass
And I can kill this hunger with another glass
Just give me one more for the road
Sometimes nothing can be the coolest hand to hold
