Hoist the anchor, man the rigging Leave the nine to five behind We’re heading west with the wind in our sails We’re going where the sun don’t shine. Singing….. La, la, la, la, la, La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh, this is the life for me. La, la, la, la, la, La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh, meet me on the bottom of the sea. Leave your briefcase at the office Hang your troubles on the door We’re coming out with a song in our hearts Pack your bags, leave your baggage on the shore (Chorus) Take your fishnets from the closet Kiss the wife and kids goodbye We’re setting sail on an ocean of blue Where we’ll dance under a multi-coloured sky.

There's a girl who will push but will not shove and she’s desperate for her father's love She believes the hand beneath the glove may be one she needs to hold. And though she doubts her host’s moralities she decides that she is more at ease In the Land Of Doing What You Please than outside in the cold. There's thrills and chills and girls galore, sing-songs and surprises There's something here for everyone, (reserve your seat today) There's mischief and malarkies but no queers or yids or darkies In this bastard's carnival, this vicious cabaret. Facing their Responsibilities either on their backs or on their knees There are ladies who just simply freeze and dare not turn away And the widows that refuse to cry will be dressed in garter and bow-tie And be taught to kick their legs up high in this vicious cabaret.

Laika 03:12
Laika, where you been? Tell us what you've seen. Up in your tin machine Are we blue and green? Laika, what they promise you? A golden handshake and a bone to chew. Laika, what you gonna do As the world slowly falls out of view?

The smell of your skin The mess that we're in The coil of a loaded spring The beat of a drum The heat from the sun The darkness in everyone Dominoes falling in a row Going nowhere On and on spiralling away Going nowhere Dominoes.... (x2) The kids on the dole. The men in control. They're eating your souls away. The cracks in a wall. The curve of a ball. The leaves as they all fall down.

In the shadows of the trees There's a whisper on the breeze And its calling me away Burning Hemingway. As the night defeats the day And the words they fade away It's once more into the fray. Burning Hemingway… Blind, weary and alone all the bridges have been blown I'm so far away from home Burning Hemingway. All the pages that I turned Are the pages that I burned. Here's a lesson to be learned Burning Hemingway… Following the fireflies Waiting for the sunrise Page 62, page 63, page 64, one page more Page 67, page 68, page 69, running out of time.....
