Matchstick Flotilla by Thrashing Doves Lyrics

I'm watching the waves
Just winding down
I've got my hip and my head united
I'm getting down
Just watching the waves
Admiring the working man at work
Oh, and watching the boats land, hey

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The matchstick flotilla
By, by the boat load
They couldn't get no thinner

No food for days
They're falling down
Cascading like coffee
Quarantined immigration ground
No admissions today
Set sail in a boat full of holes
All the shipyards long been closed
They've long been closed
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The matchstick flotilla
By, by the boat load
They couldn't get no thinner

Whoa!
I'm watching the waves
Wash away the wreck
As a man from immigration enthuses
About the cost efficiency
Of these burials at sea
Oh, yeah!

Here we go again
More lambs for the lion
Another flotilla
More wood for the nationalist fire
No admissions today
Reminds me what Einstein said
'Bout the measles of mankind
Old England's ill

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The matchstick flotilla
By, by the boat load
They couldn't get no thinner
Whoa, I'm watching the waves
They're winding down
Oh, you better believe it

I saw Jesus in an Eldorado!

By, by, by, by
