Rehearsal notes 2018 (J accompanying) This song is based on a true story.This recording is one of a rehearsal with JK for a show in 2018. There is something so lovely about the harmonies and two guitars, as loose as it is, probably never to be repeated the same way again. A story of hope, childhood and plastic. I live on a boatmum and dad live on the same boatEverywhere we goOur home goes There's not a lot of space onA boat that's built for threeBut where the Sky meets the SeaThere's more than we need Tucked up tightFeet below the bowRocked asleep By the waves There There There There I live on a boatmum and dad live on the same boatEverywhere we goOur home goes One night a big storm came throughWe batten down the hatchesThrough the tiny window I watchOcean splash and lightening flashes Tucked up tightFeet below the bowTold to go to sleep Ignore the waves You're safe safe there there I'm shaken awake told toput your lifejacket onIt's time to swim to shoreyou don't have to worryBut hurry up darlingWe have to go now cozOur boatIt's sinkingSinking holding handsWe jump into the waterI oughta be more scared butI know mum and dad are therethere there there Easy does it slow and steadyWe will get there when we're readyWhen you're tired just lean backWe'll hold your head Look how close we are now darlingThe sun in coming up up you've been soBrave you are so good at swimmingWe are almost therethere there feel the sandrub between our fingersRoll together on dry landsafe safe Used to live on a boatmum and dad used to live on the same boatEverywhere we wentour home would follow We walk along the salty shoreOur boat lies on the ocean floorEverything I've ever known isgone. Tucked up tightFeet below the bowhow will I ever sleep without the waves?there there Look over there what's that says dadall up the beach washed up on the sandBends down to the water and holds up his handRed Yellow and BlueDo these belong to you???? All we need is the three of usand a bag of shipwreckedlego my lego my lego. Used to live on a boatmum and dad used to live on the same boatbut everywhere you goyour home goes.

PS at the the end of the story, the adult storyteller got up and ran to his cupboard: and brought back a bag of lego: the only thing left from his childhood. I guess in 45,000 years it'll still be here ;)
