DESCRIPTION:
"Boats" was written and composed by Tom Butler.

It is track 4 of 4 on his debut EP "On The Line". It is also his Mother's favourite song. Here are the official lyrics:

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I've got the finest ships that sail in these seven seas
And we fish for fish
And we've caught liars
But we threw them back, 'cause we aim for something so much higher

Oh oh oh
How the waves got to me
Well you snuck inside
You got me revived
And I asked you not to leave

Oh oh oh
My sea strong girl
I need someone to be my eyes
I need someone who can compromise
I need someone to be my life
Won't you be my world?

I can cook
But I can't read
And I've got more books on these ruddy shelves than I've got time you see
But I will work
I will work for you
And I'll give you everything I have
and I promise to be true


Repeat chorus

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I know for certain you're the only person that I want next to me
And we fish for fish
And we fish for free
And I'm just glad that you're right here to keep me company

Repeat Chorus
Won't you be my world?
I said, won't you be my world
won't you be my world
won't you be my world
I said, won't you be my world
