Seadogs in Luperon bay

Well your compass is set and your fate it is sealed
Dice have been cast like the cards you been dealed
And you no theres no future in wasting away
You could steer by the stars set your sails and slip away
Cause there must be someplace you belong
And you feel like you ought to be gone
Now your sails have been flaked much too long
Like the seadogs in old Luperon
There are sailors who’ve sailed
Over all seven seas
That end up in hurricane holes such as these
Where the roots of the mangroves
They wrap around your soul
Where your forever young, long before you get old
But the boats never move in the bay
On their anchors they swing and they sway
Sun he beats down everyday
On the seadog in Luperon Bay
Captains and sailboats in harbour they rot
Escaping the world in a land time forgot
Where the chicos are cheap
And the days always slow
There’s no weather window so why should you go
And you call for the Captain to come
But he’s drunk far too much of the rum
At the end of the days setting sun
Keeps those seadogs in old Luperon

They're cashing in their pension plans, getting tickets for the tourist trail Camcorders and a pocket full of cash and a post card in the morning mail
And poverty is picturesque you want to paint it in Kodachrome, a perfect record in 35 mil and then they put it in a drawer back home
They've been to Dominica, been to Goa Costa Rica
and cuba wasn't half as bad as Bali in the winter, But Mauritus and Mombassa beat Sri Lanka and Barbados
And Africa gets better all the time
Cultures they Kalidascope, gotta capture it on Kodachrome
A perfect record in 35 mil
and put it in a drawer back home
Been to Accapulco, Marakesh and Colordo,
Alice springs was dusty, the pyramids looked rusty,
Thilands got the preachers, jamaica got the beaches
But Africa gets better all the time.

Col Williams UK
The songs are inspired, from my real life encounters. I almost always try to see the humorous side of life. All the songs here we're written on my holiday escapes from those cold English winters. Now I have given up my home on dry land and have bought a sailboat to search out new adventures and find those moments that inspire another Col Williams song. ... more
