Chumbawamba - Salt Fare, North Sea lyrics
[Chumbawamba - Salt Fare, North Sea lyrics]
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
Roll on, roll off with these words I drown
Topmast secured hatches battened down
Sometimes I think
It must be different on land
But from the mast I can only see tyrants
Still in command
Fish and chip supper
Battered, no bones hung, drawn and quartered
Drifting alone one thousand lashes
For the Age of Reason salt for your wounds
When the cod's in season
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
We reach the horizon and sail over the edge
Drunk on our memories
More sober than a judge i'm wasting time
That I can't afford
I know I'd die on the gallows
Before I'd die of being bored
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
Roll on, roll off with these words I drown
Topmast secured hatches battened down
Sometimes I think
It must be different on land
But from the mast I can only see tyrants
Still in command
Fish and chip supper
Battered, no bones hung, drawn and quartered
Drifting alone one thousand lashes
For the Age of Reason salt for your wounds
When the cod's in season
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
Salt fare, North Sea salt fare, North Sea
We reach the horizon and sail over the edge
Drunk on our memories
More sober than a judge i'm wasting time
That I can't afford
I know I'd die on the gallows
Before I'd die of being bored
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
Drifting alone, drifting alone
Drifting alone salt fare, North Sea
