lyrics

Trireme ‘72 (All Rowed Home)

With your Latin temperament and your Dutch cap you’ll go far
In Arctic winters the Gomorrah sinner
With the monocle and duelling scar
We all rowed home in a trireme ’72
We all rowed home somehow

An English rose with Irish eyes and a spoonful of Spanish fly
While Chinese whispers and French letter blisters
They make the Latin lovers cry
We all rode home on Arabian horse and nights
We all rode home somehow

Kicking our heels in the killing fields on a Portuguese man-o-war
With Celtic crosses we cut our losses and followed the Northern Star

In a Viennese whirl in an Indian summer with a skin full of German beer
Three score and ten with God and a friend, we all ended up right here

We all rowed home in a trireme ’72
We all rowed home somehow
