lyrics

(the boat)

It has been on that table since two thousand and twenty-two
Curled at the corner now, a ring where a cup has been
Thirty-one feet, blue hull, a galley and a bed
And a life in it I have described to twelve people

The boat in the brochure (the boat)
I am not buying the boat
I have never been buying the boat
The boat

The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat
Everybody needs one thing they are always about to do
The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat
It is not a plan. It is a place to put the wanting.

My father had a shed he was going to build for nine years.
He had the plans. He had the wood. He had the whole thing costed.
He died with the wood still stacked. And he was not unhappy.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat
Everybody needs one thing they are always about to do
The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat
It is not a plan. It is a place to put the wanting.
