Lyrics

You've always thought the first time was that night on the boat
Ccramped up in the bottom bunk while she slept above
I suppose it's more glamourous out at sea under the moon
Instead of pissed at a party while they laughed below

Twenty-three years of foreplay led up to this
But sometimes I envy my friends, sometimes I see a world of opportunity
And what if stays out there anchored in the middle of nowhere
Maybe we should arrange to meet somewhere, you go out with yours
I'll go out with mine

You always thought the first time was on the boat, and you don't even like boats
When we got one on holiday all you could say was "don't go out too far"
And what if it never comes back, it just stays out there on the sea
All my favourite memories are of you
All the best times were with you, but sometimes I see a world of opportunity
