Lyrics Mermaids And Slaves - Paul Heaton

Mermaids And Slaves

Baby, let’s drink and drive
Baby, let’s drink and drive
Drink til the conversation turns pink
And drive to the other side
Baby, let’s look and learn
Baby, let’s look and learn
Look till a certain feeling takes hook
And learn when the retinas burn
Let’s fool and coerce at the singer of verse
Died of insufferable pain
Let’s fuel the dream;
every Buckley or Dean
Was genius, misjudged or insane
Let’s drive over cliff
That maybe or if
That maybe or if that’s cursed us
The whole of our days
Let’s put out to sea
Poor you and poor me
Poor you and poor me on the rocks
That crushed mermaids and slaves
Baby, let’s duck and dive
Baby, let’s duck and dive
Duck till a major change in our luck
Dive if we wanna survive
Baby, let’s hit and run
Baby, let’s hit and run
Hit till you see the split of that lip
Run like the wind to the sun
Let’s wrap up that notion and sell it as potion
That greed is a good way to die
Take tragic mistake and crash into lake
And sell it to folk passing by
Let’s drive over cliff
That maybe or if
That maybe or if that’s cursed us
The whole of our days
Let’s put out to sea
Poor you and poor me
Poor you and poor me on the rocks
That crushed mermaids and slaves
Let’s drive over cliff
That maybe or if
That maybe or if that’s cursed us
The whole of our days
Let’s put out to sea
Poor you and poor me
Poor you and poor me on the rocks
That crushed mermaids and slaves
