From Here You Can Almost See the Sea

Come the weekend

And we'll long gone baby

Just like the old days

Letting the world flow through me

Just a parasite in a line

I'm smoking, killing the time

How long's a piece of twine

What use is sympathy

From here you can almost see the sea

If you would hold still

Could make a clean incision

Then we could sit back

And watch the demolition

Little puppy dog in a box

Somebody's picking the locks

Must want the darn from the socks

Here comes the cavalry

From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in the line

I dream of high clouds

Flushed with the light of daybreak

I'm gonna dive in

To water so cold it makes your bones ache

Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped

All of the rubbish heaped

A piece of cardboard taped

Up where the bedroom window pane used to be

From here you can almost

From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in the line

Just another fool in the line

I saw a film once

Where all the airholes froze up

A killer whale swam

Under the blue ice

Until her heart stopped
