Lyrics Sailing Solo - The Beautiful South
Imagine
sailing
solo
around
the
world
Only
to
find
you've
missed
a
continent
out
And
as
your
happy
turns
choppy
and
tidal
wave
swirls
You're
wondering
why
there's
no
one
about
At
least
Captain
Scott
actually
stood
on
the
spot
Where
he
planned
to
put
up
Union
Jack
And
though
Captain
Cook
cursed
the
map
that
he
took
He
got
near
enough
for
native's
attack
That's
how
it
feels
trying
to
navigate
you
Even
with
compass
and
infinite
time
Just
when
I
think
I've
found
some
part
that's
new
I
find
a
flag
already
up
that's
not
mine
Circling
you
is
journey
minus
view
Exploration
without
reason
or
reward
'Cause
when
I
get
near
you
use
an
arrow
or
spear
To
prevent
my
heart
ever
being
shored
The
earth
ain't
flat
but
it's
a
simple
doormat
Compared
to
your
unclimbable
self
The
desolate
terrain
you
have
to
cross
to
your
brain
Just
one
of
your
slippery
shelves
That's
how
it
feels
trying
to
navigate
you
Even
with
compass
and
infinite
time
Just
when
I
think
I've
found
some
part
that's
new
I
find
a
flag
already
up
that's
not
mine
And
if
I
ever
get
close
I'll
need
a
banner
or
post
To
hang
it
from,
first
there
or
not
So
voyage
may
uncover
a
sister
or
brother
And
a
friendship
that
Colombus
forgot.
