There's a club if you'd like to go

You could meet an explorer who really loves you:
But you go on the boat on your own:
And you leave on your own:And you go home and you cry and you want to die:

NHS specs fixed with a plaster, "Alas" brand cigarettes and an antique typewriter: why not stick a hearing aid and bunch of gladioli on it and have done with it eh, explorers?
