Down for the Outing

Well, slowly down

Slowly downriver

When they sold you down

Where all your timbers shiver

Hold you down

And as you're flailing

Yes, as you drown

They say, oh, look, he's waving

How can ya

Teach her she was safe?

Ooh, the Britannia

Raped by all the slaves

Raped by all the slaves

Oh, sorry, dad

And sorry for

The good times that I had

Oh, well, they make me look so bad

And sorry, mom

I'm sorry for

The good things that I've done

I gave you hope when there was none, none

No, how can ya

Teach her she was safe?

Das, da svidaniya

Tell me I can live back out on the sieve

My baby's coming with me now

Down for the outing

To the prison of my mind

No three-score ten wreck

Won't be blind

Won't be blinded like, no lion by a donkey, no

Oh, how can ya

Teach her she was safe?

Das, da svidaniya

When you tell me I can live

Back up on the sieve

And my baby's coming with me now

Down for the outing

To the prison of my mind

No pretty ribbons

The wild beast will bind

No pretty rhythms to ease a troubled mind

There's many troubled minds

Many troubled minds 'round here

And Leicester
