Message In A Bottle

Well folks, I finally got it done. In a frantic hour-long scramble this afternoon I got all the necessary presents, and this year I didn't even resort to using the Poundshop. Now it's just a case of wrapping them, a pain in the arse that I'll happily postpone till tomorrow.

In the meantime, it looks like Sting has been lobbing non-biodegradable objects into aquatic environments again. Shame on you, Sting.


Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Sending out an S.O.S.
