Lyrics Whaling - Bic Runga, Tim Finn, Dave Dobbyn

Whaling

Sing bravo bravo — you’re a brave brave man
I know it’s just bravado — you never sink 'cause you swim
And when your ship can’t handle the heavier seas
Your spirits will get you through
No down on bended knees
You sing 'save me- save me' - save me from myself
I’m the first to get trigger happy — the first to think of my own health
Cos i’m oh i’m whaling
Out on the green — i’ll never get used to the sea
But i’m whaling — manning my harpoon
Not where i wanted to be — i’m whaling
I feel like jonah — never meaning you no harm
But i’m whaling — next port of call- back in my sweet baby’s arms
In a room — close — savouring our love while we got rest and recreation
Ooh you sing bravo bravo — save me from myself
I’m the first to get trigger happy — the first to think of my own health
Cos i’m oh i’m whaling
Out on the green — i’ll never get used to the sea
But i’m whaling — manning my harpoon
Not where i wanted to be — i’m whaling
I feel like jonah — never meaning you no harm
But i’m whaling — next port of call- back in my sweet baby’s arms
In a room — close — savouring our love while we got rest and recreation
