This song describes a crew’s journey firstly by “boat” and then by “car” to construct a metaphor for the difficult, wondrous and often downright “strange” journey we all take together through life. The boat-as-life metaphor is hardly a new one, and indeed the poet Thomas Wyatt covered it as early as...
We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
That was ever hauled aboard
We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
That ever sinned
We're riding in a strange car
We're followin' a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
That was ever there to climb
We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body
Into soul
