North Sea Oil Lyrics

  Black and viscous - bound to cure blue lethargy
  Sugar-plum petroleum for energy
  Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve
  Oh, please believe we want to be
    in North Sea Oil
  New-found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday
  Hot-air balloon - inflation soon will make you pay
  Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave
    but we'll be saved and what we crave
    is North Sea Oil
  Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town
  Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown
    before we are all nuclear - the better way!
  Oh, let us pray: we want to stay
    in North Sea Oil
