Halfway to china

Anyway, let's drift away

together.

Where should we go?
Scotland?
Tunbridge Wells? 
The Orinoco?
Set up home in the country?
On a radioactive beach?
Or how about a council house?
A few square feet of peace.

Under the sky in a tent,
inside a rainwater vent,
anywhere,
somewhere.
They’d never guess
Where we went.

So let's drift away
together.
It can be anywhere you choose.
It doesn't need to be in a boat.
We don’t have much leak to lose.
Escape in an old carpet.
Hide in a bottle of plonk.
Go anywhere and not come back.
Like a couple of mismatched mugs,
Chipped,
but not broken.
Just a pair of Toby jugs.

Anyway, let's drift away
together.
