Marooned

Wire · Live At The Roxy-London [2006]

An unwilling sailor adrift from Arctic waters

As the water gets warmer, my iceberg gets smaller

As he pours more petrol on, he feels no fear

As the flames get nearer its thought gets clearer



A blue white polar bear arrives at the end

Diverting his attention, his feelings froze over

I'm only a runaway A W O L at the logical start

Not present in the present, overboard with limited future, future



And I'm standing alone still getting a thrill

While the ship is afloat, he's losing his boat, ah
