Going Overboard
The Fixx
From the album The Ultimate Collection
So it’s flotsam and jetsam
You leave the ship
Sinking slowly
When you do the plank
It’s bridge talk for deathtrap
So Aquanautic
But I’m anchored electric
Release the jib
I’m going overboard
Over the side
I’m going overboard
Over the side
When a Bombay sets sail
On a coconut float
Drifting so aimlessly
When the engine chokes
Devoted, alerted
You’re fed by pipeline
When a coast guard
As a safeguard
Reveals the twist
I’m going overboard
Over the side
There’s one thing for sure
True love in the tide
I’m going overboard
Slipping
You got a party
on a poop deck
Live under the flag
I got a cocktail
And a full sail
Completes the trip
You take your life into your own hands
You do your party piece
I took my life into my own hands
And left the ship
I’m going overboard
Over the side
There’s one thing for sure
Over the side
I fell in love with a lure
True love in the tide
