Paul England

Paul England (28 March 1929 – 17 June 2014) was an Australian racing driver. He worked for the Repco company and raced his own 138 Holden-powered grey motor Ausca sports racing car that used a fiberglass body based on the A6GCS Maserati. The AUSCA also won the Tom Sulman Trophy at Amaroo Park in 1980 by new owner and driver Bruce Polain having restored the car with the assistance of Dave Mawer. England contested a single Formula One World Championship Grand Prix race, the 1957 German Grand Prix, in a Formula Two Cooper T41-Climax.

Our nameless sailor, she charts her course
Like the captain of a merchant ship
And she finds the wind is never in her favor

So she trades her sail for a pair of oars
But they are too large for her hands to grip
And her vessel now is filling up with water

Clinging to the only thing she ever knew
She gives her body to the dark and frigid blue
After years of struggle, she finds the shore
Only to ask herself, "What is this that I've been looking for?"

Now her prince finds her tired body among the reeds
At the sight of him, she forgets her fears
And joining hands, they walk down to his harbor

He asks, "Are you the sailor from my dreams?"
She says, "No, I haven't sailed for years"
And she thinks maybe he hasn't much to offer

Looking out upon the vast and open sea
The prince asks only for the honor of her company
"Sail the world with me," she hears him say
"I won't go with you, prince, and besides, I'm more a swimmer, anyway"

Our nameless sailor is now alone again
With every bronze and weary captain she meets
She thinks, "Well maybe he could be your lover"

The daylight fades as they tell her one-by-one
"I know that it's my heart you seek
I'm sorry dear, but it belongs to another"

Looking out upon the vast and open sea
She says to herself, "This world has never been right for me"
She waves goodbye to the dream upon which she stood
And gives her body to the ocean, but this time it's for good
