Artist/Band: XTC
Lyrics for Song: Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down
Lyrics for Album: Fossil Fuel: The Xtc Singles 1977–92 [1996]



Wait till your boat goes down

That's when you'll need me most

Wait till your boat goes down

And you're washed up on some foreign and

Unfamiliar coast

Yachting's fine

Sailing round and round in social circles

In a sea of diamonds and wine

Wait till you need a shoulder

A girl's best friend's not any consolation

when you're that much older

Skiing's grand

Drawing classic lines around the millionaires



and moneymen from Switzerland

Wait till you need a shoulder

A girl's fox furs won't warm your heart

When you're that much older

And if you're late and man he sees you when you're young and looking good

Watch the big fish swim right out to take the bait you offered like you

knew they would

Too much caviar only points to middle aged spread

There won't be room for many playboys in your single bed

Wait till your boat goes down

That's when you'll need me most

Wait till your boat goes down

And you're washed up!
