Quasi - Sea Shanty lyrics

rate me

<b>Sea Shanty</b> by <i>Quasi</i><br />epair the hull, replace the sails

The monkey wrestles with the ghost

And a thousand pleasures form a thin veneer

Over lack of hope

The captain was rightly murdered by the crew

But now they don't know what to do -

Drifting on the murky Sargasso of the everyday

Work and slave and skimp and save

And you can buy yourself a bigger cave

And a thousand little cruelties we agree to pretend to ignore

The ghost has got the monkey by the tail

And all they both can do is wail

And you and I go drifting by the abandoned vessels of he everyday
