| As I Sail | |
| Music & Lyrics: Alan Robertson | |

|
|
| Verse 1: | |
| As I stand on rocky feet | |
| Who wasn't by the water's edge? | |
| And to the girl who's selling meat | |
| I could keep her smiling | |
| And in the middle of a stormy deep blue ocean | |
| As I come to Cardigan street | |
|
|
|
| Chorus: | |
| As I sail upon the sea | |
| Can't you see the fish are all doing ecstasy? | |
|
|
|
| Verse 2: | |
| I think for once we've gone too far | |
| Can't we turn it back again? | |
| Have the men all given up? | |
| Do the women need a star | |
| For to wish upon? or are they really beating | |
| themselves into a corner? | |
|
|
|
| Chorus: | |
| As I sail upon the sea | |
| Can't you see the fish are all doing ecstasy? | |
|
|
|
| Verse 3: | |
| So do we need a setting sun? | |
| Draw a veil over it all? | |
| Is it really all that bad? | |
| Can't we save it? | |
| I think I'll leave you all to suffer all alone | |
| I'm going somewhere not so bad | |
|
|
|
| Chorus: | |
| As I sail upon the sea | |
| Can't you see the fish are all doing ecstasy? | |
