| (Verse) | |
| The octopus has 3 hearts | |
| And lives in caves below the sea | |
| Or in a beer can or a bath tub | |
| Or a puddle in the street | |
| (Verse) | |
| Any fisherman can tell you | |
| When an octopus waves its arms | |
| It hypnotizes stools of fish | |
| All movement stops for miles | |
| (Verse) | |
| Even the waves stand still | |
| All the witnesses have sworn | |
| And it’s impossible to resist | |
| The urge to jump overboard | |
| (Pre-Chorus) | |
| That’s why I try and stay away | |
| From seashore holidays | |
| (Chorus) | |
| But I know that no one has to know | |
| If I take an evening stroll | |
| Down to the end of the wooden peer | |
| Where the water’s deep and cold | |
| (Verse) | |
| If I should see an octopus | |
| Lift its arms out of the sea | |
| Or see its shadow rising up | |
| Cross the rooftops above the streets | |
| (Verse) | |
| I’d follow those dancing limbs | |
| To the spinning edge of the sky | |
| Where all the boats fall off the world | |
| Into the octopus’s eye | |
| (Pre-Chorus 1) | |
| That’s why I know I shouldn’t go | |
| On a cruise across the sea | |
| (Chorus) | |
| But I know that no one has to know | |
| If I take an evening stroll | |
| Down to the end of the wooden peer | |
| Where the water’s deep and cold | |
| (Pre-Chorus) | |
| That’s why I try and stay away | |
| From seashore holidays | |
| (Chorus) | |
| But I know that no one has to know | |
| If I take an evening stroll | |
