Sailor Song Lyrics
shiver me timbers they'll kill me yet
I'm dry as a bone and i'm soaking wet
and I am the unhappy captain
of all I survey
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
now the floorboards are tipsy
and the wallpaper's drunk
and my soldiers are dead
and my ships are all sunk
and all my trials and troubles
are here to stay
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
got a devil on my shoulder
and roses at my feet
and I stumble and stagger over waves
of grey concrete
I'm shipwrecked I'm drowning on dry land
I will not be saved
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
I'm dry as a bone and i'm soaking wet
and I am the unhappy captain
of all I survey
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
and the wallpaper's drunk
and my soldiers are dead
and my ships are all sunk
and all my trials and troubles
are here to stay
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
and roses at my feet
and I stumble and stagger over waves
of grey concrete
I'm shipwrecked I'm drowning on dry land
I will not be saved
when I said that I loved I you was drunk
but I meant it anyway
