If I owed you better days in your mind
You'd see that better days were behind
You should know it's conscience time again
Sailor
You're one time a minute,
one time a minute
Oh Sailor
You'll feel better
Stand on your own
You'll feel better
but you're going to be alone
You should know it's conscience time again
Find a way for me now
You'll feel better
Stand on your own
You'll see better
but you're going to be alone
You should know it's conscience time again
Sailor
You're one time a minute,
one time a minute
Oh Sailor

Met an old man on the street,
A dirty hat laying at his feet,
I looked and saw adventure in his eyes,
Singing them songs from yesterday,
From over the hills and far away,
Lord that old man hypnotized.
I went on in to my nine-to-five,
Hoping I could stay alive,
I knew that something in my life was wrong,
All night long I could not sleep,
The trouble here was buried deep,
I couldn't help but hear the old man's song.
I'm rolling down the highway,
I fly the friendly skies,
I'm just a hobo,
I'm on the railroad tracks tonight,
I'm dancing through the desert,
I see the city nights,
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life.
The feeling swept right over me,
I left my home and my security,
I finally found a place where I belong,
Back out here on the road again,
Going back where I have never been,
Now I'm finally free to sing my song.
I'm rolling down the highway,
I fly the friendly skies,
I'm just a hobo,
I'm on the railroad tracks tonight,
I'm dancing through the desert,
I see the city nights,
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life,
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life.

In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor
In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor
I think dirt
a suicide jump to run a self check
Oh my girl do you only like the younger or the braindead?
Three way, freeway, take me like a sailor
Three way, freeway, wanna be a sailor?
Oh quick step, boy girl love me like you love her
A Knee jerk slow work, wanna be a sailor
In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor
In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor
A child like a lipstick fight before the nose dive,
my princess, do you only like the easy and the snow blind?
Three way, freeway, take me like a sailor
Three way, freeway, wanna be a sailor?
Oh quick step, boy girl love me like you love her
A Knee jerk slow work, wanna be a sailor
Like a fever, I wanna be a sailor
Like a fever, I wanna be the sailor [2x]
Three way, freeway, take me like a sailor
Three way, freeway, wanna be a sailor?
Oh quick step, boy girl love me like you love her

I'm not a sailor
I'm not so strong out of my shoes
Dragging like anchors
Over the ocean
Pearls in the sky strung 'round the moon
Pointing to you
So I'll sail till morning
Or I'll sail till I
Carried to you tonight
I'm not a sailor
But I'll spend the night out on the sea
Out on the sea
And I'll sail till morning
Or I'll sail till I
Carried to you tonight

They say it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
For when that man starts singing you'd be surprised
How many people sing along, sing along, yeah, sing along
Don't worry sailor, this ship is yours and youÅ e learning more each day
Don't worry sailor, your heart and mind and eyes will find a way
People been telling you for so long that you're running across thin ice, yeah
But now and then you feel too strong to take up their advice
Going into town with those high hopes and a couple of dreams long inside
Leave town with no money, no
And all those dreams have been foolish schemes besides
No money, no dreams - it don't seem much
Looks like all I could ever hope to see
Don't worry sailor, this ship is yours and youÅ e learning more each day
Don't worry sailor, your heart and mind and eyes will find a way
People been telling you for so long that you're running across thin ice, yeah
But now and then you feel too strong to take up their advice, yeah
Take up their advice, yeah, whoa,

Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost,
She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow,
But now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do,
'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through,
And I'm singing,
Sailor, can you hear me,
Sailor, hear my call,
Sailor, take me with you,
Sailor, take me home...
Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low,
Then she sailed off to the west,
Like she was telling me the way to go,
If I had her wings my love I'd be with you tonight,
But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight,
Wait for me,
Oh Sailor, take me to her,
Sailor, take me home...
To feel the wind, to see the sky,
To hear the waves breaking on the shore again,
To be with you, to lie with you,
To hear your voice echo through the hills again,
Oh my darling wait for me, 'cos I will be there,
When it is over, when it is over,
Yes I will return one day,
Sailor, take me to her,
Oh Sailor, take me home,
Sailor, can you hear me,
Sailor, hear my call,

Come in my boat
a storm is rising / and the night is coming
Where do you want to go
quite alone / you are drifting away
Who will hold your hand
when it pulls / you downward
Where do you want to go
So boundless / the cold sea
Come is my boat
The wind of autumn / keeps the sails stiff
Now you are standing by the lantern
with tears in your eyes
The daylight falls to the side
The evening light sweeps empty the streets
Come in my boat
Yearning becomes / the helmsmen
Come in my boat
The best sailor / yet was I
Now you are standing by the lantern
with tears in your face
You take the fire from the candle
Now you are standing with tears in your face
Fall is coming, the only spoke of your mother
So merciless is only the night
In the end I'm left alone
The time stands still
and I am cold

Sailor, get your feet on the ground
Get your leave, get your money,get yourself into town
(Lonely town, needs you around)
Sailor, won't you stay for awhile?
There's a town full of girls that could do with a smile
(Lonely girls, brush up your curls)
Get in the game, pick out the dame (Dum de dum de dum)
This is the place where you set the pace (Dum de dum de
dum)
The streets are lit with the good times rolling, yeah
The bars are filled with the good stuff flowing
Set 'em up, Joe, let the booze flow
Give out the juice, she won't refuse (Dum de dum de
dum)
This is your chance for love and romance (Dum de dum de
dum)
Your leave is short but the action's growing, yeah
Get in the streets before you start slowing down
Hey sailor, is there anything wrong?
There's a dame in your lap, but you started this wrong
(She's okay, so why don't you play?)
Sailor, is it true what they say?
That you go with the tough when the girls are away
(Lone in a world, present world)
Do what you know, put on a show (Dum de dum de dum)
Don't be afraid, you should have it made (Dum de dum de
dum)
You've got to live up to all those stories
Sailor boy with your mixed-up glories, yeah
Set 'em up, Joe, let the booze flow
Pull up your socks, pull out the stops (Dum de dum de
dum)
Do what you can, they'll understand (Dum de dum de dum)
It's hard to make up for all that sailing, yeah
Out on the sea, you lose all your training

You ain't gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
Escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
The ceremony's nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
Was driving everybody out of their brains
I convinced my best friends
I lost my nerve and I pleaded I was being framed
"Sailor show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
"Sailor show me which way to go"
Such a deadly silence due to my defiance
The wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
Ain't no use in your trying
So her brother punched me in the throat
Her mother got hysterical the bitch was cynical
Father's in the corner drunk picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door, down the fire escape and on my way
"Sailor show me which way to go"
You should have heard the noise
Said "Sailor show me which way to go"
So keep clean girlie
Find a man that's truly
Gonna love you
From dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key don't give him up for me
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your would be keeper's
Still an all night creeper
Nobody gonna change him now
Who thinks a marriage license
Should be like a dog's license
So let's renew it when the year runs out
Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go
She had a body full of lust

Go on sailor sail away
I am no reason to stay
put sails on the mast
and you're free at last
to ride the sea again
its not in your nature
to stand their idol
your dreams require much more
how silly of me was it to ask
for you to stay ashore
and if the wind blows to strong
and the cold freezes your heart
come back to where you belong
come back home
Ill be there to warm you
I've been waiting for you
to come back home
it's the curiosity
that comes from the ocean
a continuous conquering quest
but when you look at me no mystery you see
I'm the home where you lay your head to rest
the sea that you love
it don't love you back
the tide it changes and turns
but unlike the tide I remain the same
I'm the girl you left ashore
and if the wind blows to strong
and the cold freezes your heart
come back to where you belong
come back home
I'll be there to warm you
I"ve been waiting for you

(Sailor stop your roaming)
Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me
Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea

Here we go...
(Can you pass me the springfeather?
No...the buttermilk)
Well anyway...
K...King congratulations
The m...monkey of our time
Useless information
Making all the headlines
"If only I could kill again"
Says 12 year old murder girl
You better find out who you are
In a crazy world
Find out who you are
In a crazy world
So I ran out of the station
Out in the neonlit rain
The battle for attention
Is driving me insane
Fat man pulls other
I say "sorry ol’ Grand dad"
Find out who you are
In a world gone mad
Find out who you are
In a world gone mad
On the sea
Ship in the horizon sailor calls for the breeze
In my car
Driving through the winterstorm to where you are
In the mountain
Lives a king seldom seen by us who live by the sea
Looking at myself
Looking at myself
I'm OK
Can you pass me the springfeather?
If it aint funny don’t laugh
I’m hoppalong Harry at home
And under my cowboy hat
I’m worried sick you know
All I ever wanted was to
Live by the sea
I’m a love junkie myself
Baby, come and fix me
I'm a love junkie myself
Baby, come and fix me

I'm sailing my ship accross your sea,
the stars are guiding me.
I'm going where no-one else can be,
accross your shinning see.
I am, that is I was all i can be,
and that confuses me.
I'm sailing my ship away to see,
and I'm so lonely,

Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
