The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by the Mediterranean region and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, and on the east by the Levant. The sea is sometimes considered a part of the Atlantic Ocean, although it is often identified as a completely separate body of water.
The name Mediterranean is derived from the Latin mediterraneus, meaning "inland" or "in the middle of the land" (from medius, "middle" and terra, "land"). It covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km² (965,000 sq mi), but its connection to the Atlantic (the Strait of Gibraltar) is only 14 km (8.7 mi) wide. In oceanography, it is sometimes called the Eurafrican Mediterranean Sea or the European Mediterranean Sea to distinguish it from mediterranean seas elsewhere.
The Mediterranean Sea has an average depth of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) and the deepest recorded point is 5,267 m (17,280 ft) in the Calypso Deep in the Ionian Sea.
It was an important route for merchants and travelers of ancient times that allowed for trade and cultural exchange between emergent peoples of the region — the Mesopotamian, Persian, Egyptian, Phoenician, Carthaginian, Iberian, Greek and Byzantine, Roman and Italian, Illyrian, Thracian, Levantine, Gallic, Arabic, Berber, Jewish, Aragonese, Nubian, Slavic and Turkish cultures. The history of the Mediterranean region is crucial to understanding the origins and development of many modern societies. "For the three quarters of the globe, the Mediterranean Sea is similarly the uniting element and the centre of World History."
I was trying but the sweet girl was not buying
I was the man who had lots of things to say
But the only response was a walking away
I said come on! Baby please, can I have your telephone number?
She said no I snore when I sleep and I puke when I slumber
I wanna go flying above that Mediterranean
I wanna go on an airplane above that Mediterranean
Wish I could be, wish I could see that Mediterranean Sea
Honey what about me?
Hey I know more about the burger place
Then God has ever wanted me to
But that's where she works my man
And Im always in front of it too
Even told her that I'm a songwriter
But she said "I don't care"
How can you make or write music
When your name is Tom Van Laere
I wanna go flying above that Mediterranean
I wanna go on an airplane above that Mediterranean
Wish I could be, wish I could see that Mediterranean Sea with her
And my bonus for sure
I want this hips-line to be mine
If I had this girl everybody would care
About my Calvin Klein underwear
I want the passion, I want devotion
I want the passion and I need devotion
I want the passion, I want devotion
I want the passion and I need devotion
Well I heard heard Lucy say that she's doing okay
I heard Lucy say she's doing okay above that sea
Honey what about me?
What about me?
I want the passion, I want devotion
I want the passion and I need devotion
Well I heard Lucy say that she's doing okay
I heard Lucy say she's doing okay
Well I heard Lucy say that she's doing okay
I heard Lucy say she's doing okay
I want the passion, I want devotion
I want the passion and I need devotion
Well I heard Lucy say that she's doing okay
I heard Lucy say she's doing okay
Well I heard Lucy say that she's doing okay
I heard Lucy say she's doing okay above that sea
