Rosie and the Sea Lyrics
was so hard to say farewell
my girlfriends took me drinking at the RSL
from my (?) victory
and everybody tellin' me to tell my story
i went away
the very next day
with a headache
then lost it to the motorway
and i go no place that i can be
my boyfriend finished school,
he moved up and he moved in
and his pulse comes tattooed
with the name of his crew
and a musical horn is like an 'i love you'
things are so grim
there's worse gas than him (?)
and we won't be together once we've settled in
and i never, ever felt so free
my pulse will rocket fuel to whoever's next
I couldn't believe this song wasn't up... I guess it's not as well known, I think it was released on the UK version of Skeleton Jar? But this is definitely one of my favorites by Youth Group. I assume it's written from the perspective of someone else, namely 'Rosie'. Anyway, these lyrics are pretty much untracible, I couldnt find them anywhere online, so I did the best I could to decifer them. If anyone has any corrections, let me know!
The line with the first question mark is:
And I was flushed with glory From my Melon Midouri
The second question mark sounds about right... but I've heard some of the other lyrics differently.. "and his pulse comes tattooed" to me is "and his postcode's tattooed" and "my pulse will rocket fuel to whoever's next" should be "I pass the rocket fuel to whoever's next" which would make sense considering the previous line.
