"Sea Song" lyrics
(originally by Robert Wyatt)
You look different every time
You come from the foam-crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise
Partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart
When you're drunk, you're terrific
When you're drunk, I like you mostly
Late at night, you're quite alright
But I can't understand the different you
In the morning, when it's time to play
At being human for a while
Please smile
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own
My very own
My very own
You come from the foam-crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise
Partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart
When you're drunk, you're terrific
When you're drunk, I like you mostly
Late at night, you're quite alright
But I can't understand the different you
In the morning, when it's time to play
At being human for a while
Please smile
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own
My very own
My very own
