Can't lay my hands on either right now, but will do. One line springs to mind though "We're all in the same boat, lost at sea" Or maybe two "We're all on the breadline lost at sea. |

22 Sep 07 - 06:55 PM (#2155288) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lost at Sea From: Santa The Wilsons are a group. A family, even. Unaccompanied harmony singers. My daughter (Edain) went to Warwick a few years ago, her first unaccompanied festival. She rang us up late Saturday night. Are you well, we asked. Oh yes, I'm listening to the Wilsons in the late night concert. Shocked parents: you aren't using your mobile in the concert hall? Disdainful pause. No, I'm in my tent at the campsite. But I'm listening to the Wilsons in the late night concert. |

23 Sep 07 - 09:55 AM (#2155607) Subject: Lyr Add: LOST AT SEA (Clive Gregson) From: The Admiral Hi Hazel Glad to help, please find the words below. Happy Singing. Pearl LOST AT SEA Clive Gregson We live in a mean world where nothing comes cheap We fight and we steal to be top of the heap Where money is King and chaos is Queen And we're all in the same boat, lost at sea The rent's always due when the money runs out When the landlord comes knocking we're never about Now we're just as honest as poor folks can be But we're all on the breadline, lost at sea How can you borrow if no one will lend What can you buy with nothing to spend When living is hard the trouble comes free And we're all in the same boat, lost at sea With time on our hands the days always drag But the highway to heaven's through a polythene bag While the pimps and the pushers are out on the street We're all in danger, lost at sea We swim in an ocean of petrol and blood We spin round in circles we sink in the mud We drink to forget we sit down and weep But we're still in the same boat, lost at sea Still in the same boat, lost at sea |

24 Sep 07 - 06:13 AM (#2156157) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lost at Sea From: GUEST,Liz Sorry! The Wilsons recorded 'Lost at Sea' written by Clive Gregson, on a charity single in 1989 called 'The Third World War' another great song written by Kieth Handcock, about the famine in Africa. Two powerful songs, powerfully sang by the wonderful Wilsons. When people on the folk scene! go on about giving awards away for various reasons, I can never understand why the Wilson Family have never received any recognition for this excellent recording, and the cash they raised. Liz. |

The big African famine was 1984 - the one that Live Aid got all excited about and I suspect the Wilsons' contributions were swamped by the media scrum surrounding their concert and the Sainted Bob 'Gi'us yur foockin moonay' Geldof.
