A special new entry, written just for @ThamesTradesmen. About as much practical use as 'Thoughts & Prayers' of course but if it only raises a smile... #rowinglyrics #rowingfamily

THE ROW MUST GO ON (with apologies to Queen)
Empty boat racks, what are we training for?
Abandoned races, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know who we are looking for?
Another zero, another faceless man
Behind the curtain, of the ‘masterplan’
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
The row must go on
The row must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My boat club may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens, I'll take a different stance
Another victim, council’s failed finance
On and on, does anybody know what we are paying for?
I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning)
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be spinning (turning turning turning)
Round the green buoy now
Outside the tide is rising
But inside in my mind I'm sculling to the sea
The row must go on
The row must go on, yeah yeah
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
My boat club may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Yeah yeah, whoa wo oh oh
My hull is painted in stripes of green, white and red
Glory tales of yesterday will grow, be never dead
I can row, my friends
The row must go on (go on, go on, go on) yeah yeah
The row must go on (go on, go on, go on)
I'll face it with a gin
I'm never giving in
On, with the show
Ooh, I'll make the weight, I'll overrate
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the row
On with the row

The row, the row must go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on......
