Tugboat Lyrics

I don't wanna go to your party
I don't wanna talk to your friends
I don't wanna vote for your president
I just wanna be your tugboat captain

There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy

I don't wanna go to your party
I don't wanna talk to your friends
I don't wanna vote for your government
I just wanna be your tugboat captain

There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy
There's a place I'd like to be
There's a place I'd be happy

Cover art for Tugboat lyrics by British Sea Power

To me this beautiful song tells of a man yearning for a life stripped of all pretense and social politics. He craves earnest simplicity and wants nothing more than to "captain his tugboat."
