Paul Heaton Lyrics

"Mermaids and Slaves" lyrics


Baby lets drink and drive
Baby lets drink and drive,
Drink till the conversation turns pink
and drive to the other side

Baby lets look and learn
Baby lets look and learn
Look till a certain feeling takes hold
and learn when the ready(?) is burned

Let's fool and coerce, the singer of verse, died of insufferable pain
Let's fuel the dream every Buckley or Dean was genius, misjudged or insane

Let's drive over cliff that maybe a riff
Maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our days
Lets put out to sea poor you and poor me,
poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slaves

Baby lets duck and dive
Baby lets duck and dive
I duck till a major change in our luck
and dive if we wanna survive

Baby lets hit and run
Baby lets hit and run
Hit till you see the split of their lip
And run like the wind to the sun

Let's wrap up that notion that selling is potion, that greed is a good way to die
Take tragic mistake and crash into lake and sell it to folk passing by

Let's drive over cliff that maybe a riff
That maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our days
Lets put out to sea poor you and poor me,
Poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slaves

(Instrumental Break)

Let's drive over cliff that maybe a riff
That maybe a rift as cursed as the whole of our days
Lets put out to sea poor you and poor me,
Poor you and poor me on the rocks that crush mermaids and slaves
