I Used to Be a Sailor |
| I used to be a sailor |
| Who sailed across the seas |
| But now I’m just an island |
| Since they took my boat away from me |
| Oh no |
| I don’t like being stationary |
| I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea |
| I sit and rot behind these padded walls |
| Hoping one day they’ll fall |
| And set me free |
| He wrote his epitaph |
| He wrote his eulogy |
| It said «I think that I can die now |
| For my true love won’t come for me» |
| Oh no |
| I don’t like being stationary |
| I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea |
| I sit and rot behind these padded walls |
| Hoping one day they’ll fall |
| And set me free |
| I used to be a sailor |
| Who sailed across the seas |
| But now I’m just an island |
| Since they took my boat away from me |
| Oh no |
| I don’t like being stationary |
| I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea |
| I sit and rot behind these padded walls |
| Hoping one day they’ll fall |
| And set me free |
| Set me free |
| Set me free |
| Set me free |
