William FinnAbout
Roger, Gordon’s boyfriend, sings of how much he enjoys sailing. He explains that he enjoys nothing better than being on the sea, preferring it to the comparison of food, sex, and other people. This is a contrast to the reprise of this song, which is sung by Gordon.
I’d Rather Be Sailing Lyrics
[ROGER]
I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I would
On an open sea
I'd stand at the railing
If I could
Feeling wild and free
The sun is on my neck
The wind is in my face
The water's incredibly blue
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you
Sex is good but I'd rather be sailing
Food is nice but I'd rather be sailing
People are swell but I'd rather be sailing
Over the horizon
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I would
[GORDON]
He'd rather be sailing
[ROGER]
On an open sea
[GORDON]
On an open sea
[ROGER]
I'd stand there inhaling
If I could
[GORDON]
He'd stand there inhaling
[ROGER]
Feeling wild and free
[GORDON]
Feeling wild and free
[ROGER]
The sun is on my neck
The wind is in my face
[ROGER/GORDON]
The sea is incredibly blue
[ROGER]
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you
I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you
