JOHN AND THE ALBATROSS.
Written by: Andy and Mike Lezala

He's not your regular guy,
Will you hold his gaze when he catches your eye
Tough as nails and no doubt why
A rough beginning cast the die

No ocean too wide

To row the Atlantic with one other guy

Blistered and tired trying to survive

Struck a deal with God to never say die

CHORUS

And its oh oh oh, steady as she goes
It's anchors away I won't waste any day
Since the deal with God on the row
and its oh oh oh, the pace of production still grows
And who bears the costs, its our poor albatross
Don't just watch as she goes below

Round the horn in a canoe, an icy grave waiting for you
With drive and guts he pulled through
No so many thought he would do

CHORUS

And its oh oh oh, steady as she goes...

To reach the potential inside
Needs self belief and goals defined
And for those of us with cushy lives
'Into the mist' he cries

CHORUS

And its oh oh oh, steady as she goes...

From the trap of the city scene
To a life of adventure with Marie Christine
So determined to follow their dream
Cos only dead fish swim with the stream

CHORUS

And its oh oh oh, steady as she goes...

And now he'll muster his might
Again round the world he'll battle and fight
To raise awareness to the plight
Of the albatross' dying flight

CHORUS

And its oh oh oh, steady as she goes...
