Salty Water

British Sea Power

And would you care if you fell in? 
And would your best friends follow you? 
All out to sea 
Oh, silence ye 
Your salty water's hard to swallow 
Yeah, I know 
Yeah, I know 
When all your greatest hopes 
Were all bound up in ropes 
All bound up in ropes 
Shall we leave our bodies in the Peak District? 
On rattles and twigs and where Honey said 
Hope that we can go there soon 
I hope that we can go there soon 
I hope that we can go back soon, my love 
And if you float you are in trouble 
And if you don't then so long 
All out to sea 
To silence ye 
Whose holy water's hard to swallow 
Yeah, I know 
Yeah, we know 
When all my greatest hopes 
Were all bound up in ropes 
Were all bound up in ropes 
When all my greatest hopes 
Were all bound up in ropes 
All bound up in ropes 
And ceremoniously destroyed 
When all my greatest hopes 
Were all bound up in ropes 
All bound up in ropes 
And we leave our bodies in the Peak District 
On rattles and twigs and maybe Holly sticks 
All bound up in ropes 
And ceremoniously destroyed 
One by one by you
