The Wreck Of The Arthur Lee

Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

The wreck of the Arthur Lee

Will never return again



The captain and all his men

Went up and jumped overboard

"Jesus is Lord" they cried



Believe in love!

Believe in love

And I'll believe in you



The missing Avenger planes

Will never return to base

-- don't you wait up for them



How often have you boys said

"I ain't gonna bump no more"?

"We ain't gonna bump no more"



Believe in love! Believe in love!

And I'll believe if you'll believe in me

I got home

There was nobody there

Just the phone

Let it ring in the air

But it's home



The wreck of the Arthur Lee

Will never return again

Never return again
