Lyrics
Yacht Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Andy Partridge)
We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
That would pull us down to the depths and crush us flat if given
half a chance.
No need to look back to pictures of lost, when all was rust.
We, we will skim across the surface of the mud as if we're
spinning pebbles
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance
We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
Made of people stained with scorn who never see the light of
real love.
No need to look back through diaries of lost now turned to dust.
We, we will skate across the surface of the storm as if we're
wheeling sea-birds.
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance
And how they'll be jealous of both of us!
In our yacht dance.
We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
That would pull us down to the depths and crush us flat if given
half a chance.
No need to look back to pictures of lost, when all was rust.
We, we will skim across the surface of the mud as if we're
spinning pebbles
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance
