My Pleasure

Verse 1

Ship set sail, Loaded down
In a hurry, to make the turn around
Weary faces, Tired crew
Names and places, I don't need to tell to you

Verse 2

Overloaded, Undermanned
Cutting corners, efficiency out of hand
Slack procedures, Undrawn lines
Free and easy, Touches of the times

Chorus

Rest easy, won't you lie easy
Though you drowned so near the shore
Rest easy, won't you lie easy
Your suffering now is o'er

Verse 3

Ship at sea, Comes the storm
The hatch won't batten, the plates are old and worn
The captain's dunk, the crew untrained
The engine's failing, The cargo is unrestrained

Verse 4

Leaking badly, The end is nigh
Listing madly, The owners are high and dry
Built for profit, Maintained for gain
Shady traders, who hide beneath flags of shame

Chorus (2)

Rest easy, won't you lie easy
Though you drowned so near the shore
Rest easy, won't you lie easy
Your suffering now is o'er

Mid 8

But, Oh in the night how you toss and turn
Oh, how the the cold winds roar
Oh, how we fight for the tide to turn
And even up the score

Repeat Chorus 1 & 2 as required.

I had the pleasure of recording Jim's demo at the session for the album.....It still moves me
