Lyrics

I got so much to say
But I'm afraid it'll come out wrong
I'm not akin to the eighties thing
Where you look after number one

But I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm scared what might happen
I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm one of the millions
Who never seem to do anything
(He never seems to do anything.)
I never seem to do anything
(He never seems to do anything.)

And everytime I get the urge
To strike out on my own
Insecurity wraps me up
It's cold outside the fold

So I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm scared what might happen
I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm the man who merely threatens
Who's always saying what he's gonna do
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
I'm always saying what I'm gonna do
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)

I'm running steady
Oh so steady
So safe and sound
I could drown

I've had my fill of living
In my cosy armchair land
But all my schemes come to a humiliating end

So I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm scared what might happen
I won't rock the boat
'Cause I'm one of the millions
Who's always saying what he's gonna do
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
I'm always saying what I'm gonna do
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
No I won't rock no boats
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
Kiss goodbye to my hopes
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
I won't rock no boats
(He's always saying what he's gonna do.)
Life is easy when you're being kept afloat
I won't rock no boats
