Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down Lyrics - Xtc

Wait till your boat goes down 

That's when you'll need me most 

Wait till your boat goes down 

And you're washed up on some foreign and unfamiliar coast 

Yachting's fine 

Sailing round and round in social circles 

In a sea of diamonds and wine 

Wait till you need a shoulder 

A girl's best friend's not any consolation 

When you're that much older 

Wait till your boat goes down 

That's when you'll need me most 

Wait till your boat goes down 

And you're washed up on some foreign and unfamiliar coast 

Skiing's grand 

Drawing classic lines around the millionaires 

And money men from Switzerland 

Wait till you need a shoulder 

A girl's fox furs won't warm your heart 

When you're that much older 

Wait till your boat goes down 

That's when you'll need me most 

Wait till your boat goes down 

And you're washed up on some foreign and unfamiliar coast 

And if you're late and man he sees you when you're young and looking good 

Watch the big fish swim right out to take the bait you offered like you 

Knew they would 

Too much caviar only points to middle aged spread 

There won't be room for many playboys in your single bed 

Wait till your boat goes down 

That's when you'll need me most 

Wait till your boat goes down 

And you're washed up on some foreign and unfamiliar coast 

Wait till your boat goes down 

That's when you'll need me most 

Wait till your boat goes down 

And you're washed up
