lyrics

The Flying Dutchman

So I left Amsterdam
Changed my name again
Travelled to the South
To let the colours out
Now will or won’t I
Carry on?

Living day by day
The romantic way
Like a little song
Sing it all day long
Now will or won’t I
Carry on?

Busking in the sun
Sing for everyone
The old and the young
Till the day is done
Now will or won’t I
Carry on?

Freedom is a gift
Freedom is a song
It’s got nowhere to live
You got to pass it on
How could we ever do without?
How could we ever do without?
Well I could never…

Got to keep the beat
Stay on my feet
Spiders weave their webs
This world is full of traps
No will or won’t I
Carry on?

And the Grand Machine
Of manufactured dreams that
No matter what you try
You’ll either sell or buy
Now will or won’t I
Carry on?

Crises in the South
Where the colours shout
Oh the irony
Of soulful poverty
Now will or won’t they
Carry on?

Hope is a gift
Hope is a song
It’s got nowhere to live
You got to pass it on
How could we ever do without?
How could we ever do without?
Well I could never…

No, no one really knows
Just where these moments go
No, no one really knows
Just where these moments go

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
