Song | Man Overboard |
Artist | Lloyd Cole |
Album | Broken Record |
Mary, what can I do | |
to make you feel same as I do? | |
Stow me away to Ballico Bay | |
But I’ve got no sea legs at all | |
Sailors, they know the score | |
They don’t come to port every storm | |
They’ve got fair weather gals | |
and rainy day dames | |
and they’re gone on the wing before dawn | |
Man overboard against all of the evidence | |
Girl under seige doth protest | |
that she wants to be alone | |
The clown’s in the water | |
The ship’s pulling out | |
The circus won’t ever leave town | |
He sees a lover and | |
she sees another man overboard | |
So she channels Garbo | |
Carves a halo of smoke | |
Still he spies through his watery eyes | |
and cries Mary, what can I do? | |
The clown’s in the water | |
The ship’s pulling out | |
The circus won’t ever leave town | |
He sees a lover and | |
she sees another man overboard | |
another man overboard | |
another man overboard |
Mary, what can I do | |
to make you feel same as I do? | |
Stow me away to Ballico Bay | |
But I' ve got no sea legs at all | |
Sailors, they know the score | |
They don' t come to port every storm | |
They' ve got fair weather gals | |
and rainy day dames | |
and they' re gone on the wing before dawn | |
Man overboard against all of the evidence | |
Girl under seige doth protest | |
that she wants to be alone | |
The clown' s in the water | |
The ship' s pulling out | |
The circus won' t ever leave town | |
He sees a lover and | |
she sees another man overboard | |
So she channels Garbo | |
Carves a halo of smoke | |
Still he spies through his watery eyes | |
and cries Mary, what can I do? | |
The clown' s in the water | |
The ship' s pulling out | |
The circus won' t ever leave town | |
He sees a lover and | |
she sees another man overboard | |
another man overboard | |
another man overboard |
