The Lure Of The Sea

The Beautiful South

 If I walk like a fool, I've walked like that since school 
 But maybe it's the lure of the sea 
 Who knows the effect, 
 that whisky could've had on me
 It could've been the lure of the sea 

 'Cause leather ain't as strong as the weather
 But leather can strangle any dream
 And leather ain't as strong as the weather 
 But leather took Curtis from me

 Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
 maybe it's the lure of the sea
 Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
 But maybe it's the lure of the sea

 Once I felt chained, and now, now I feel free
 Maybe it's the lure of the sea
 Polo and Da Gama, 
 well those two had nothing on me 
 Could be I'm a sucker for the sea

 'Cause silver, ain't as quick as the tongue
 But silver, took the M.L.K so young
 And metal ain't as strong as the petal 
 But metal left the verse unsung

 Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
 maybe it's the lure of the sea
 Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
 But maybe it's the lure of the sea

 Freedom's taken a liking to me
 Maybe it's the lure of the sea
 Look in my eyes 'cause my belt's broke free
 Maybe it's the lure of the sea 
 The Pirates Of Penzance, 
 they have nothing on me
 Maybe it's the lure of the sea

 Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea 
 Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
 But maybe it's the lure of the sea

 Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea 
 Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
 But maybe it's the lure of the sea
