The Wreck Of The Beautiful
Lyricist:Neil Hannon
When the Beautiful set sail Back in 1970 She was state of the art The flagship of our navy
But the salt sea took its toll And the rust began to show And with a heavy heart We took her to the breaker's yard
I thought I heard her call Maybe I heard nothing at all I thought I heard her call From the wreck of the Beautiful
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But like the fattened cow Can smell the butcher's knife She knew where she was bound A sad end to a proud life
That's when I heard her cry And the waves rose five miles high And the men who did not drown Watched as the Beautiful went down
I thought I heard her call Maybe I heard nothing at all I thought I heard her call From the wreck of the Beautiful From the wreck of the Beautiful
