Madness - Night Boat To Cairo

Madness Live At Madstock in 1999 It’s just gone noon half past monsoon On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn’t deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile
