The Lure of the Sea

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

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

[Chorus] x2
