[00:00:00] So To Speak - Fred Applegate/Michael Esper

[00:00:01] Written by：Sting

[00:00:07] They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life

[00:00:11] If I'll only submit to the surgical knife

[00:00:15] What are the odds on a month or a week

[00:00:20] When the betting shop's closing its doors so to speak

[00:00:26] When you're laid like a piece of old meat on a slab

[00:00:30] And they cut and they slice and they poke and they jab

[00:00:34] And they'll grill ye and burn ye and wish ye good health

[00:00:38] With their radium chemo and God knows what else

[00:00:45] Well ye can't fault the science though the logic is weak

[00:00:49] Is it really an eternal life we should seek

[00:00:54] That ship has sailed that ship has sailed

[00:01:01] That ship has already sailed so to speak

[00:01:08] You must finish the work son

[00:01:10] We're trying father

[00:01:12] I don't mean the men I mean you

[00:01:17] You came home for a reason now get to it

[00:01:24] Finish this labor son finish this task

[00:01:27] And you'll find absolution if ye do as I ask

[00:01:31] Remember your father look after your son

[00:01:38] He's the bridge to the future when all's said and done

[00:01:44] I came home for a reason that I couldn't see

[00:01:48] It was easier fighting the storms out at sea

[00:01:52] Yet I'm tied to the wheelhouse till I put this right

[00:01:56] But the ship of my heart wasn't built for this fight

[00:02:05] But when the ship sails and the course has been set

[00:02:09] And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let

[00:02:13] And the hatches are full and the hull doesn't leak

[00:02:20] And the ship is all ready for sail so to speak

[00:02:29] I'm tired and I'm fading losing the light

[00:02:33] I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night

[00:02:39] Follow your heart it's the harbor ye seek

[00:02:48] And this ship is ready to sail

[00:02:53] This ship is ready to sail

[00:02:58] This ship is ready to sail

[00:03:02] So to speak
