Wanderlust Lyrics
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not for me
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
Oh where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not for me
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Oh where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
Drop me a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not for me
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
This one's not for me
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me

Makes my heart sour, this song.
I love Paul so much.
lmao, *SOAR
And I still love 'him, ya know.
The song is about his boat which was named Wanderlust.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I love to put on a good pair of headphones, turn off the lights, and crank up the volume. I love this song.
according to allmusic.com, this song is about the SECOND time he was caught with weed in an airport, some time in the late '70s.
I read once that this was about the captain of a boat that Paul hired called Wanderlust. He wasn't keen on Paul chonging massive spliffs on board as Paul had famously been incarcerated for drug offences.
