Sling It Lyrics - Steve Harley

The ship was sailing through a tempest of fear 

There was lightning and explosions galore 

And the waves came whooshing and crashing and boy! 

It was panic as we swam for the shore 

There were ladies and babies being trampled to hell 

Where ihe flames flickered happy and sad 

And the honey-coloured moon was bouncing around 

He was laughing, saying: "dear, this is mad!!!" 

Oh, come on! 

Oh, come on! 

Oh, come on! let's sling it and do it again!" 

Then a message flashed in the sky by the sun: 

"be careful, ihis is only a game! 

If you believe what you see, you'll be rewarded by me 

And be drownded or burned - it's all ihe same!" 

Oh the fear in our hearts was diminished at once 

We began to restore love and peace 

And though the ship had gone down, there was a moral we found: 

"if this is life, then it's hard to believe!" 

"oh, come on! 

Oh, come on! 

Oh, come on! iet's sltng it and do it again!" 

"oh, come on! 

Oh, come on! 

Oh. come on! let's sling it and do it again!"
