Steve Harley - SLING IT lyrics

The ship was sailing through a Tempest of fear

There was lightning and explosions galore

And the waves came whooshing and crashing and boy!

It was panic as we swam for the shore

There were ladies and babies being trampled to hell

Where ihe flames flickered happy and sad

And the honey-coloured moon was bouncing around

He was laughing, saying: "Dear, this is mad!!!"

Oh, come on!

Oh, come on!

Oh, come on! let's sling it and do it again!"

Then a message flashed in the sky by the sun:

"Be careful, ihis is only a game!

If you believe what you see, you'll be rewarded by me

And be drownded or burned - it's all ihe same!"

Oh the fear in our hearts was diminished at once

We began to restore love and peace

And though the ship had gone down, there was a moral we found:

"If this is life, then it's hard to believe!"

"Oh, come on!

Oh, come on!

Oh, come on! Iet's sltng it and do it again!"

"Oh, come on!

Oh, come on!

Oh. come on! let's sling it and do it again!"
