The Deception Lyrics
They said it couldn't be done
And so it seems
I proved them all wrong
In spite of them
I have become
The chosen one
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
It turns me on
All I ever wanted
Is a little revolution
But here I sit
With my head in my hands
Lost in a sea of deception
And this ship won't let me sink
And the wind won't talk about
England expects
England expects
If you feed them a lie
They will take it and run
And who could blame them
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday
And so it seems
I proved them all wrong
I have become
The chosen one
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
It turns me on
Is a little revolution
But here I sit
With my head in my hands
Lost in a sea of deception
And the wind won't talk about
England expects
England expects
They will take it and run
And who could blame them
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday

This is about Donald Crowhurst. He entered the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a single handed round the world yacht race. He got into trouble early in the race when his boat began to fall apart. He was determined to set the fastest time so he abandoned the race and falsely reported his position without actually travelling around the world. He disappeared before the end of the race and his boat was found abandoned. Evidence suggests that he went insane and committed suicide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst

strange, for me it always sounds like england expands and not expects. But now that I listen to the lyrics again it's expects. Hm, I liked expands more though. Great song with a phenomenal atmosphere to it.
