The Beautiful South were an English pop group formed at the end of the 1980s by former members of Hull group The Housemartins - Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway. The duo were initially joined by Sean Welch (bass), Dave Stead (drums) and Dave Rotheray (guitar), all of whom stayed with the group throughout their 19-year career. Later additions included female vocalist Briana Corrigan; she was replaced by Jacqui Abbott, who in turn was replaced by Alison Wheeler.

AF#mDE If, if you choose that we will always lose AF#mBbE Well then I'll sail this ship alone AF#mDE And if, if you decide to give him another try AF#mBmE Well then I'll sail this ship alone
DE Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song AF#m You would take me back DBm Well I wrote it, but I lost it E And now will you take me back anyway
Now if, if you insist that this is for the best Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if, if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone
AA7 I'll sail this ship alone DE Between the pain and the pleasure AA7 I'll sail this ship alone DE Amongst the sharks and the treasure DEDEDE If you would rather go your way then go your way N/C I'll sail this ship alone
If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if, if you agree to him instead of me Well then I'll sail this ship alone
Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter That I would have a chance Well I wrote it, and you burned it And now do I have a chance anyway
If, if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone
[Chorus]
Well they said if I burnt myself alive That you'd come running back
