A duet for a boater and Sally Ash.  With apologies to The Beautiful South.

Boater:
I need a little boat
To do some cruising
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little boat
To find my freedom
I need a little...

SA:
Funny how much we can abuse our power
Isn't it, isn't it
We put up a new sign very hour
Don't we, don't we
Ancient structures turn to dust
Paddle gear just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

Boater:
I need a little room
To tie my boat up
I need a little shop
To buy some food
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little...

SA:
You need a supermarket by every lock
Don't you, don't you
You'll get an offline basin for a thousand boats
Won't you, won't you
With mooring auctions - pubs shut down
A five pound charge to visit town
Peace into commerce

Boater:
I've had a little time
To find the truth
I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love boating
I've had a little...

SA:
You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you?
While you had yours
Do you think we had none?
Do you, do you
The freedom that you wanted bad
Is gone for good
I hope you're glad
Canals into Tescos

I had a little time
To put up charges
Had a little room
To put up signs
I found a little consultant
To rip you off

Both:
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
