Wire - Men 2nd Lyrics

Sailing under a false flag
We're crossing the IDL
Becalmed where no creature lives

Lost, forsaken, cursed

Holed below the water line
A shift in the plimsoll line
Pumps in the engine room

Women and children first

Hysterical, no humour
Sabotage of a rumour
Captain-less and captionless

Injury, hunger, thirst

Reptile, prehensile
Servile, editorial
Gentile, fatal
