lyrics

Restless Spirit

Bring back the Resolution, and the Cuba and the Boyd
Cos we’re tired of rolling pastures, and we’re thirsty for a voyage
We could fly away from these islands to Berlin or Beijing or Brussels
We could fly away from these islands and turn all our pipis to muscles

Bring back the Resolution, and the Cuba and the Boyd
Cos we need a fresh Endeavour - somewhere better, somewhere warm
We could fly away from these islands forsaking our drab lives and lovers
We could fly away from these islands, because they’re really starting to bug us

Cos of all the restless spirits, we’re the most restless of all
Well, we’ve barely touched the tarmac and we’re waiting for your call
Cos the grass is always greener than the stuff we’ve got to chew
She’s not dancing, she’s just looking for somewhere new
