I never saw it as a start, more as a chance to dart
Rushing up to frontstops, throwing all the run to pot
Digging in my blade to the loom, what I forgot
Was place my hands for solid lock
Coxswain of the four needs a Labrador, if he's gonna steer this way
Looking at the girls on the bankside thinks he's on a holiday
Two and I just raise the rate
Up the slide now stroke is late, he's miles away
Roll to bow side, catch another wrong
Did you hear about the day we tried to train?
Three leans away to stroke, he's rowing like a joke
Talking like a coach though, thinking it's not down to him
Rolling in the four with my rigger end almost in
I miss my catch and I'm late again
Sitting in this four what a nightmare chore, wishing I was miles away
Talking to the guys in the bar, start thinking there's a better way
Two and I just raise the rate
Up the slide now stroke is late, he's miles away
Roll to bow side, catch another wrong
Did you hear about the day we tried to train?
You and I should ditch these hacks and find ourselves a better crew tomorrow
Just you and I, if we're coming down, we're only getting crap and you know I'd feel no sorrow
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you need days like these........
