So To Speak - Fred Applegate/Michael Esper[00:00:00]

Written by：Sting[00:00:01]

They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life[00:00:07]

If I'll only submit to the surgical knife[00:00:11]

What are the odds on a month or a week[00:00:15]

When the betting shop's closing its doors so to speak[00:00:20]

When you're laid like a piece of old meat on a slab[00:00:26]

And they cut and they slice and they poke and they jab[00:00:30]

And they'll grill ye and burn ye and wish ye good health[00:00:34]

With their radium chemo and God knows what else[00:00:38]

Well ye can't fault the science though the logic is weak[00:00:45]

Is it really an eternal life we should seek[00:00:49]

That ship has sailed that ship has sailed[00:00:54]

That ship has already sailed so to speak[00:01:01]

You must finish the work son[00:01:08]

We're trying father[00:01:10]

I don't mean the men I mean you[00:01:12]

You came home for a reason now get to it[00:01:17]

Finish this labor son finish this task[00:01:24]

And you'll find absolution if ye do as I ask[00:01:27]

Remember your father look after your son[00:01:31]

He's the bridge to the future when all's said and done[00:01:38]

I came home for a reason that I couldn't see[00:01:44]

It was easier fighting the storms out at sea[00:01:48]

Yet I'm tied to the wheelhouse till I put this right[00:01:52]

But the ship of my heart wasn't built for this fight[00:01:56]

But when the ship sails and the course has been set[00:02:05]

And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let[00:02:09]

And the hatches are full and the hull doesn't leak[00:02:13]

And the ship is all ready for sail so to speak[00:02:20]

I'm tired and I'm fading losing the light[00:02:29]

I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night[00:02:33]

Follow your heart it's the harbor ye seek[00:02:39]

And this ship is ready to sail[00:02:48]

This ship is ready to sail[00:02:53]

This ship is ready to sail[00:02:58]

So to speak[00:03:02]
