Do you ever get the feeling the chair's too comfortable?

lyrics

SHACKLETON

The pressure of life squeezes like a vice
Men buckle unless they are assured
Endeavour has gone, crucified by ice
Let's pull together and take this mess onboard

O when the wind comes whistling up the pass
Keep alive, boys - stay alive
Think of the times you had a fuller glass
Keep alive, boys - stay alive

Cold and starvation will keep a man awake
Guts rumble and creak like a yardarm
Chapped lips smack for a lovely piece of hake
Ne potaties to warm you like a charm

Push all the snarling demons from your mind
Keep alive, boys - stay alive
Too much disharmony will make you blind
Keep alive, boys - stay alive

Frostbite and chilblains can wreck the finest day
Survival is now the main concern
The lights of St Georgia are a lifetime away
But I tell you: One day we will return

No time for ruminating on the past
Keep alive, boys - stay alive
Only the absentminded can't be arsed
Keep alive, boys - stay alive
