lyrics

if domestic life matters
what of time on the run?
sold off cheaply
the family gold
i'm nowhere near having most to scorn

time and tide and exiles
flattering the hostile
not much to be done for you, i'm told

we've ships to build
and launch into the ocean with prosecco on their bow

if domestic life matters
and it always has done
sold off quickly
the family gold
i'm not the one who has children here

all your stately assets
Purcell soaring parapets
not much to be done for you, i'm told

we've ships to build
and launch into the ocean on a mission no one knows
and who knows how it ends?
and who knows how it ends?
