Remittance Man |
Sinner on the mainland |
Hes a sinner on the sea |
He looks for absolution |
Not accountability |
How many destinations |
Oh God hes seen them all |
He collects his precious pittance |
Never a port of call |
Remittance man |
Blacksheep of the family clan |
Broke too many rules along the way |
Remittance man |
So far away from home |
No theyll never understand |
The remittance man |
A man of empty pockets |
From jingling his change |
The idleness and grieving |
For all that he retains |
By the harbour lights of sydney |
Or the bora bora moon |
He recites his sad confession |
To the seagulls and the loons |
Remittance man |
Blacksheep of the family clan |
Broke too many rules along the way |
Remittance man |
So far away from home |
No theyll never understand |
The remittance man |
Well you can claim that you were born a prince |
But youre the only one you can convince |
Survivor with no livelihood |
That you could ever make it good |
But still you dream of what you can pretend |
An unexpected passenger |
Boarded in marseilles |
An angel full of tenderness |
She gave her heart away |
She was but a gypsy |
He was just a stray |
They almost made a miracle but it slowly slipped away |
So he follows the equator |
With a wish to run aground |
Its a very vicious circle |
Goin round and round and round |
And he watches from the fantail |
As the mainland disappears |
Just like the flying dutchman |
Hes a prisoner of his fears |
Remittance man |
Blacksheep of the family clan |
Broke too many rules along the way |
Remittance man |
So far away from home |
No theyll never understand |
No theyll never understand |
No theyll never understand |
The remittance man |
