Set Those Sails by William Finn Lyrics
[MISS GOLDBERG]
The world is round
There's a key to every door
That's what our hero found
Nothing is for nothing and a new land is a new land to explore
Not just paths you retrace
I'm talking mountains and space
[MISS GOLDBERG & LADIES]
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
[MISS GOLDBERG]
Watch me close
Close your eyes
I am living proof that cowards still can rise
You might tell me you're a victim
You might get what you deserve
But I won't excuse
Boy, I can't excuse
A boy who's lost his nerve
O Lord, set sail
Be preparing for a fall
Stay clear of love and jail;
Lovers don't go hungry
And the appetite of young men counts for all
Lord it's rough in the sack
Kid, live and learn to attack
[MISS GOLDBERG & LADIES]
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
A good man never fails
The world is round
There's a key to every door
That's what our hero found
Nothing is for nothing and a new land is a new land to explore
Not just paths you retrace
I'm talking mountains and space
[MISS GOLDBERG & LADIES]
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
[MISS GOLDBERG]
Watch me close
Close your eyes
I am living proof that cowards still can rise
You might tell me you're a victim
You might get what you deserve
But I won't excuse
Boy, I can't excuse
A boy who's lost his nerve
O Lord, set sail
Be preparing for a fall
Stay clear of love and jail;
Lovers don't go hungry
And the appetite of young men counts for all
Lord it's rough in the sack
Kid, live and learn to attack
[MISS GOLDBERG & LADIES]
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
Hey, I love you, set those sails
A good man never fails
A good man never fails
