I’ll Sail This Ship Alone The Beautiful South

[Verse 1: Paul Heaton]
If, if you choose
That we will always lose
Well then, I'll sail this ship alone

And if, if you decide
To give him another try
Well then, I'll sail this ship alone

[Pre-Chorus 1: Heaton]
Well, they said if I wrote the perfect love song
That you would take me back
Well I wrote it, but I lost it
And now will you take me back anyway?

[Verse 2: Heaton, Dave Hemingway & Heaton]
Now if, if you insist
That this is for the best
Well then, I'll sail this ship alone

And if, if you swear
That you no longer care
Well then, I'll sail this ship alone

[Chorus: Heaton, Hemingway, Hemingway & Heaton]
I'll sail this ship alone (Ba ba, ah)
Between the, the pain and the pleasure
I'll sail this ship alone (Ba ba, ah)
Amongst the, the sharks and the treasure
