Текст песни Our Little Boat

Take a selfish lover for a while And apply the tricks you learn to all you love Convince yourself the research was worthwhile And file it under "N" for "No harm done" Lie with a smile in your eyes if you can These are the things that will make you a man There is nothing inconsistent (about a lie?) He can never change the course on which he's set Decisions in the white heat of desire Think nothing of the bitter cold regret And sins of the father will wake in the son Till you can't count the cost of the damage you've done These are the things that will make you a man Oh how can I tell you how sorry I am? I took a selfish lover, no harm done Forgetting all the gentle love she gave The single indiscretion weighed a tonne And it pushed our little boat beneath the waves
