From their 1982 album English Settlement

Lyrics:

We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
That would pull us down to the depths and crush us flat if given
half a chance.
No need to look back to pictures of lost, when all was rust.
We, we will skim across the surface of the mud as if we're
spinning pebbles
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance

We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
Made of people stained with scorn who never see the light of
real love.
No need to look back through diaries of lost now turned to dust.

We, we will skate across the surface of the storm as if we're
wheeling sea-birds.
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance

And how they'll be jealous of both of us!
In our yacht dance.

We, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the
tops of the seas,
That would pull us down to the depths and crush us flat if given
half a chance.
No need to look back to pictures of lost, when all was rust.
We, we will skim across the surface of the mud as if we're
spinning pebbles
Oh, in our yacht dance
Oh, in our yacht dance

  • love this song makes me happy

  • I didn't discover XTC until Nvnsvch. Then, I went backwards and found this vast library of treasures there waiting for me.  I love this whole album. I love to play this in the morning, especially on my day off. It's its' own little world.

  • Women come and go. the friends I had who were into this as much as I was still remain. And, joy of joys my sons love them too. Must be genetic.

  • @SleepyTymeT Oh yes. You can feel something new nearly every time you listen again many of their gems. Here, I love the acoustic guitar!

  • forgot how much I love this song, thank god for your video uploads mate.

  • FallingDown08 i love you.

  • @kempton1st

  • beautiful song, that main riff is so chirpy and cheerful

  • Still the most underrated band in Pop music history. And I love 'em!
