Help me escape this feeling of insecurity
I’m pulling so hard, but the gearing’s too heavy for me
but if we all stand up in the name of length
and own up to the limits of our strength
I’ve got to say it feels like eighty two
‘cos like a coach in denial, you’ve rigged it for a much bigger crew
Re-rig my four
our spread should be a bit more
Re-rig my four, ‘cos we need oh we need the rate
Turn back the times till the days when our boat was new
(do you remember)
No matter who was rowing, it was set up for the crew
But if we pitch it to about four degrees
and maybe row within our flexibilities
the boat would be right for the race
so Captain, don’t turn away
listen to what I got to say
Re-rig my four
our spread should be a bit more
Re-rig my four, ‘cos we need oh we need the rate
You got to be strong enough to row on through those crews
there’s a new pot on the other side
you got to have length in your stroke, just keep on pulling
Strong enough to row on through those crews
there’s a new pot on the other side
and I got length in my stroke
well I keep on rowing baby, keep on rowing baby
Re-rig my four
our spread should be a bit more
Re-rig my four, ‘cos we need
(repeat to fade)
