The Beautiful South - The Mediterranean Lyrics

The Beautiful South Lyrics

"The Mediterranean"

Little seas can be big seas
To the wrong or long of sights
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight

The Doctor told me the chemist
He had nothing for my plights
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight

This ocean puts in motion
All our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kontiki
When it's always been left in port

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight

Little voyage can be big voyage
If you sail in the middle of night
But the Mediterranean
Needs the compass tonight

It gives cheap thrills to the seagulls
Life to lifes little kites
But the Mediterranean
Is my aspirin tonight

This ocean puts in motion
All our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kontiki
When it's always been left in port

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight
