The World Is Wide

from Stray Dogs by Peter Doran

/

lyrics

Did you mean what you said when you said you were thinking about leaving here
Well it got me to thinking how would you feel about having company?
All we need is a stick and a good handkerchief to tie to it
And we'll fill it with things that adventurers bring when they go

Where the world is wide and we ain't no fools
Yeah the world is wide and we make the rules

Yeah I meant what I said when I said I was thinking about leaving here
I've been building a boat made from barrels and ropes that I found
You can come with me but I'll have to swear you to secrecy
'Cos if somehow our mother's find out then all is lost ('Cos they've forgot)

That the world is wide and we ain't no fools
Yeah the world is wide and we make the rules

And there will be snakes, there will be ladders sometimes
There will be maps showing us treasure to find
You can put your hands up anywhere and pick an orange from the sky (oh oh my)

Meet me in the yard at the end of history
We'll climb the wall that leads to the railway tracks
and we won't look back

Oh the world is wide and we ain't no fools
Yeah the world is wide and we make the rules
