[Verse 1]
Terribly sorry it don't quite pass
Found a riverbed
Feeling
Over the counter happy
Under the cosh, I'd say
Found a radio silence
Strangeness breathing
Saccharine party, baby
Laughing and ha-hoorah!
Well, what's a riverbed sleep?
Coveting, cheating
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
[Verse 2]
Terribly sorry I'm not quite right

Yeah, they'll murder me
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
What's the mercy? Now I found it out
What's the mercy? Now I found it out
[Outro]
I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
Yes it's plain
It's a fix this game

This song was firstly inspired by a wonky synth guitar part that I had which had a kind of seasick quality to it, which in my head had a tenuous link to the Donald Crowhurst story – the famous tale of the amateur British sailor who died whilst sailing around the world. These two things seemed to mar...
