Lyric:
He walked in with a salty sway
Lookin' like black beard in his day
A brother in arms just like me
I was born a son of the sea

I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I, I feel alive

Is when the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor

He slid a stool and a beer to me
Said, "You know, we're both a dying breed"
Here's to love lost and newfound friends
Living out life in the boat we're in

I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I, I feel alive

Is when the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor

Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor

Don'T Curse - Lyrics - Heavy D

Title: Don'T Curse
Artist: Heavy D
Composer(s): John Davis, Dwight Myers, Al Jackson Jr, Maxwell Dixon, Peter O Phillips, Antonio M Hardy, Donald V Dunn, Corey(Pka C.L. Smoo Penn, Nathaniel Wilson, Steve Cropper, Booker T Jones Jr

Lyric:
This one definitely goes out on a censorship tip
So everybody sit back relax and have a champagne sip
We gonna teach these people out there who are
Against saying what we want to say the right way

Y'know what I'm sayin', so what we're gonna do
Is kick back swing a little funky beat by my man
DJ Pete Rock producer extraordinaire
Yo, Pete Rock, make it clear

I can flex, bend, lend a pen to a friend
Keep a party pimping from now to then
I don't have to swear, curse or juggle
Lyrics in the verse to make a party bubble

So 'Mister Censorship', tell me, what's your problem?
There's girlies on the corner, and phifey can't solve 'em
How did she say it, I'm curious G
Does she say honey love me, or baby baby, fun me

Anyway, we say what we wanna say
Play how we wanna play, feels good that way
So G Rap, huh, it's time to kick a verse
Do your man a favor and don't curse

You're tellin' me don't curse on a verse, they did it worse
First I put a curse on every verse
I kind of got outrageous
Check it, even made a record on how I'm doing on the B I T C H es

Drop some verses for the bust
Every word that you heard is cause I didn't give a f, aw shucks
Hey yo, I almost forgot
The curse is a plot but it's getting kinda hot

So I'ma let profanity retire, hey
But if worse comes to worse, I'll cut you out like Richard Pryor
So Grand Puba, kick a verse
But do your man a favor and don't curse

Don't curse, bust it
I won't curse, I'll take a famous curse word and just say kcuf
Kcuf flipped around the other way means ha
Boy when I do, I see, I can't get stuck
Jump on the mic then I earn a quick buck

Buck meanin' loot, then I grab some boots
And set wit my troops
For those who can't follow and got stuck
Kcuf flipped the other way means

It's just a curse, I freaked a nurse in a hearse
But I made sure I had my hat first
CL Smooth, it's time to kick a verse
God cypher the rhyme, you can't curse

Go ahead ask me, when I kick a curse in a verse, I say nope
Grab you by your hand, wash you're mouth out wit soap
Thinkin' to be the last one wit the bad lingo
Scoopin' on the skinz in the church from your bingo

Sounds of the Mecca, dark fresh from the tailor
Because they made a movie when he cuss like a sailor
Better yet, dialect dirty like a subway
Freakin' for your loot, here to make it go the other way

In a vocabulary scrimmage
But cursin' in my village ain't good for my image
So Big Daddy, you know it's time to kick a verse
But do your man a favor, don't curse

The smooth rap inventor that enter
Parental discretion's not advised so there's no need to censor
Kiss on, peep it, but you want to beep it, what?
I feel like slapping a sticker on ya, chill chill, see what

But, too magical rhymes are too tragical
For any source to stop Kane from getting capital
If I thought sticking me was dissing me
Man, don't you know that this would be
Worse than Stephen King's Misery

So clean all profanity, stealing all the man to be
Rocking any microphone you're handing me
So Heavy D, I'm about to disperse
So kick another verse and don't forget not to curse

God Bless, but I can't mess around wit the curses
So I'm a kick verses or a verse
Soul brother number 1 here to kick facts
Smoke the microphone and produce crazy tracks

Your my bad bro, let's start the flow
I'm a kick rhymes till it's time for me to go
I can't curse cause Heavy D said so

Now I'm a get back to the subject
Get wreck, if you think I'm bluffin', just check
Wit the crew, Pete Rock and CL Smooth very down to earth
And we didn't have to curse

Yea, yea the Abstract poet Q-tip of a Tribe Called Quest
Here to wreck, y'know what I'm sayin'
Got my man Pete Rock and my man Heavy D in the house
And we're definitely chillin' on the lifted tip
So bust the spit out, aha

Flim flam flim, lick my big black stuff
Plus I kick a curse to be rough enuff
You could put the sticker where the sun don't shine
So back off and let me get mine

Visions in my head when it's dealing wit hits
If I had 4 girls then I lick 8 its
Wait, don't wanna hear no drama
'Cause the bum didaly Heav is a favorite of my mama's

So I blew out get mad lifted
Don't have to say up the show that I'm gifted
God bless me 'cause I reach my 21st
Heavy D, don't drop a curse

Peace, peace, peace to the preacher
I'm talkin' about a verse without a curse that's how I reach ya
I can rock a party without a swear or a harsh verb
Backwards, no curse words, Heavy D prefers

So swing, swing to the Soul bequiem rhythm
Before I say goodbye, let me tell ya how I hit 'em
CL, Pete Rock, G Rap, Maxwell
Big Daddy, Q-Tip and ah me as well

Time to say peace, thank Pete for the beats
This funky beat was made for the street
Notice how clean that we kept every verse
But if worst came to worst, we all said a curse

Fisherman'S Delight - Lyrics - Spin Doctors

Title: Fisherman'S Delight
Artist: Spin Doctors
Composer(s): Aaron Comess, Neville Chris Gross

Lyric:
I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

Love is a super power like an endless sea
I will swim to you if you will swim to me
I can drink your song, I'm drunken from your sound
If this is love then let me drown in it, let me drown

What a perfect night to forget your pain
And finally see the lights after forty nights of rain
Little boy blue, come blow your horn
A melody yet to be born

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Once I was on the hill, now I am in the hole
But there's a hope that prances
In the footlights of my soul, in a sea of sadness
Find me drop of gladness just to fill my bowl

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Keep it real with me
Keep a deal with me
Come on

Lovers fill the streets and drag their leaden feet
Somehow they always seem to cry
Bombs and blessings, everybody's guessing
What will next fall from the sky

I will lay before you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

The flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight
Said, the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Keep it real with me
Keep a deal with me
Come on

Let Your Troubles Roll By - Lyrics - Indian Summer - Carbon Leaf

Title: Let Your Troubles Roll By
Album: Indian Summer
Artist: Carbon Leaf
Composer(s): Barry Privett, Terry Clark, Scott Milstead, Carter Gravatt, Jordan Medas

Lyric:
Love endures, it clings away
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song at imperfect times
It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes
So let your troubles roll by

He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
And someone, somewhere loses her son
Before her own sunset is said and done

And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
But then plays her life back in slow motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion

In the night, crushed empty can
Olive oil is waiting for her man
To come in from the fight
That will change their life for good this time

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by

Like New Year's eve, tonight's underway
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day
'Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings

You fear the year will blow
Like a breeze through a rainbow
You swear it's there, but you can't grab a hold
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by

So many cities and windows and lives
And through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is alive and that's why I cry

It's a New Year's toast, grab your list to conspire
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
You've come far, and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are, 'cause you know where you've been

Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
With nothing of note but the old captains coat
And a burning boat, you just sank with your salty tears dry

Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by

The Great Wide Open - Lyrics - Funeral For A Friend

Title: The Great Wide Open
Artist: Funeral For A Friend
Composer(s): Gareth Davies, Mathew Davies, Ryan Richards, Kris Roberts, Darran Smith

Lyric:
Spitting from the bridges
Like a bird perched on a branch
I'm wilting like a tree
That will never let me breath

Soul soldier with your gun held high
Where does the crow fly?
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Will you follow it home?

For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
Stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open

No, it never came back to break me
The way it broke it down
Spiting from the bridges
While the tree gives a soft sigh to the ground

Soul sailor with your flag held high
Where does the crow fly?
Soul sailor with your flag held high
Will you follow it home?

For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
Stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open

For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
Stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open
Into the great wide open

Rush of the flood
Sends the blood to my head
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood to my head

Soul soldier with your gun held high
Where does the crow fly?
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Will you follow it home?

The rush of the flood
Sends the blood to my head
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood to my head

Climb out, climb out, ohh
Climb out, climb out, ohh
Climb out, climb out over me

Climb out, climb out, ohh
Climb out, climb out, ohh
Climb out, climb out over me
Into the great wide open

Lo - Spend The Night In Your Mind - Lyrics - Cee

Title: Lo - Spend The Night In Your Mind
Artist: Cee
Composer(s): Gaelle Adisson, Thomas Decarlo Callaway, Eric M Stamile

Lyric:
In your mind, mind
Yeah

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind

Let me caress your consciousness
Want you to taste the thought of me
Is your imagination aroused?
It ought to be

Let me seduce your soul
With every word I say
Ooh, wait on my love
It's on it's way

Whoa, may I have this dance?
Your dreams and destiny
You've got years to yearn
Please say, "Yes" to me

Baby, believe
Believe and it will be
Prepare yourself
I promise you'll remember me

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I won't be hard to find
I'll be right there in your mind

Love has lost it's compassion
But no, I won't commit that crime
I'd rather leave an impression
That will last your whole lifetime

You see I go deeper
Instead of standing in the shallow end
I wanna please my partner
I wanna fuck my friend

I wanna be inside you
Literally
Girl, I want to use you
Habitually

Was all the waiting worth it?
Soon you'll see
I wanna remember you
And I want you to remember me

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
I wanna eat your emotion
And lick your life line

I wanna make love but it's not quite time
I'd rather spend the night in your mind
You can search your lifetime
And not find a love like mine

You are awakened to my silhouette in the dark but don't scream
Reach out and touch me, I'm not a dream
A careless whisper becomes a conversation
And all of a sudden a sailor becomes a star constellation
Your eyes offer an invitation
And I guess that it's more of crime wasting irreplaceable time
You're provoking my patience
Time, I crawl towards you and gently take what is mine
Sex becomes a song, a slow and nasty groove
About twenty years long and it's as if I've become you
And ultimately the conclusion that you come to
Shh, she's sleeping

Comedown - Lyrics - Church

Title: Comedown
Artist: Church
Composer(s): Steve Kilbey

Lyric:
You should decide what you want to believe in
How can I describe what I?m receiving
It?s like the marquee says, one night at the stage
You want to live forever but you don?t want to age

I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time

The life-buoy in the life-boat, he was a sailor
You could not describe him, oh the words would just fail you
And Justine?s laced up tight in her shoes
You?re gonna get it whatever you choose

I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time

That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown

As high as a mountain as fast as a first
Lying beside a fountain dying of thirst
And the marquee says, "One night at the stage
Wait ?til I let this soul out of it?s cage"

And I just can?t help wondering
It?s such a waste of time

That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown

That?s a weird trick
That?s a bad hit
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown

That?s the blues man
That?s the big town
That?s the rebound
That?s the comedown

Ahab - Lyrics - Mc Lars Horris

Title: Ahab
Artist: Mc Lars Horris
Composer(s): Robert Coombes, Daniel Goffey, Michael Quinn, Gareth Coombes, Andrew R Nielsen

Lyric:
Call me Ahab, what? Monomaniac
Obsessed with success unlike Steve Wozniak
On the hunt for this mammal that once took my leg
With my warn down crew and my man Queequeg

You're never going to find him, he's a big sperm whale
The ocean is enormous, shut up, we're setting sail
This scar that you see that runs down my face
Has scarred my soul and inspired this chase

Mental sickness has got me on the run
Full speed ahead, this is American fun
There is wisdom that is woe, so welcome to my life
It was fine until Moby scarred me like a knife

Towards thee I sail, thou un-conquering whale
To stab my spear into your white tail
The first one to stop him gets this gold doubloon
Now, excuse me while I go be melancholy in my room

(There's a [Incomprehensible] feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby dick
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what?

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash, so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up

We're never going to find this white whale
Are we captain?
Hey Ishmael, can I call you annoying?

Grown up beluga in the deep blue sea
Swims so fast and swims so free
With the heaven above, Moby dick stressing me
And this crazy drenched crew below

Call it idiotic pride or call me Oedipus
My main tragic flaw but what about us?
It's your battle too, crew, man vs. beast
At least have respect as we sail South and East

And North and West, look I'm doing my best
While the rain keeps pouring, we're exhausted and stressed
Pip went insane when he almost drowned
So profound when he shrieks like a little sailor clown

Random ships we met, warned us of our doom
They said our boat would be our tomb
Near the Mariana trench, deep and oceanic
We spotted Moby Dick, so white and Titanic

(There's a [Incomprehensible] feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby dick
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what?

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash, so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up

(There's a [Incomprehensible] feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby dick
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what?

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash, so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up

I said, "You took my leg, and for that you must die"
I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye
He charged the boat, it began to sink
I said, "How about that? Hubris really stinks"

I didn't think that it would end like this
Pride met fate, this captain got dissed
Let it be a lesson, revenge is never sweet
So, I stomp my peg to this super grass beat

(There's a [Incomprehensible] feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby dick
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what?

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash, so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up

(There's a [Incomprehensible] feeling around me)
Bad trip thanks to Moby dick
(And a stone cold feeling inside)
Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what?

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)
Whale crash, so fast
(Or wasting my time)
Oh no, oh no
The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up

Ordinary Bummer - Lyrics - Iggy Pop

Title: Ordinary Bummer
Artist: Iggy Pop
Composer(s): James Jr Osterberg

Lyric:
Lovely games of yesterday
Have left me with my soul today
Felicity flies out the door
When people lose their warmth

That's a very ordinary bummer
I'll hold out for summer days
Stand and laugh and run
In a quiet movie of mine

I saw a girl with eyes like fire
I had to look away
She was swearing like a sailor
And demanding her own way

That was when I knew, I had to love her
I opened up my sad old eyes
And let the feelings run
With a quiet beauty of mine

Maybe, sometimes we do bad things
And then other times we do good
And sometimes from something very bad comes
Something very good in a quiet year of mine

Forefathers - Lyrics - Dan Fogelberg

Title: Forefathers
Artist: Dan Fogelberg
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg

Lyric:
They came from Scandinavia, the land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was young
They'd heard that in America, every man was free
To live the way he chose to live and be who he could be

Some of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil
But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil
They say one was a sailor, who sailed the wide world round
Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned

My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born
They brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the Highlands and the heather covered hills
And came to find America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills

My grand dad worked the steel mills of Central Illinois
His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his boy
For thirty years he worked the mills, and stoked the coke fed fires
And looked toward the day when he had last turned
Sixty-five and could retire

And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander, the lineage survives
And all of us, from dust to dust
We all become forefathers by and by

Woman and the man were wed, just after the war
And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew
One became this lonely soul
Who sits here now and sings this song to you

And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander, the lineage survives
And all of us, from dust to dust
We all become forefathers by and by

By and by
By and by

What Does The Deep Sea Say? (Where Is My Sailor Boy?) - Lyrics - Doc Watson

Title: What Does The Deep Sea Say? (Where Is My Sailor Boy?)
Artist: Doc Watson
Composer(s): Traditiona

Lyric:
Oh, where is my sailor boy?
Where is my sailor boy?
He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea
And he can't come back to me

I stand on the beach alone
And gaze at the misty blue
Deep sea, as you hold him to your breast
Does he mention my name to you?

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
What does the deep sea say?
It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams
And it rolls on its weary way

Oh, please tell me, deep blue sea
Is he sleeping peacefully?
The winds from the north are blowin' icy cold
Can you keep him warm for me?

If only my grieving soul
Some token of love could find
And if only the waves would show me where he sleeps
Then I'd leave this world behind

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
What does the deep sea say?
It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams
And it rolls on its weary way

A beautiful rose, one day
I placed on the crest of a wave
I said, "Take it please and let it settle home
Above his watery grave"

The driftwood I watched in vain
And my rose never came back again
Oh, waves, take another message to my love
Sayin' I'll need him alone

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
What does the deep sea say?
It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams
And it rolls on its weary way

Nightingale - Lyrics - The Essential Carole King - Carole King

Title: Nightingale
Album: The Essential Carole King
Artist: Carole King
Composer(s): Dave Palmer, Carole King

Lyric:
Like some night bird homeward wingin'
He seeks the sheltered nest
Like the sailor's lost horizon
He needs some place to rest

The songs that he's been singin'
No longer make much sense
And those stranger's cold perceptions
They've killed his confidence

Nightingale, she sails away upon a sea of song
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along
When his tired voice is broken, his golden hope is gone
She makes a lost soul's simple longing, somehow not so wrong
Nightingale, nightingale

He was strong, but he was taken
By the thought of his success
Those spotlights shadows how they lured him
And took him like all the rest

But that old dream don't look good now
No it don't seem quite the same
He needs to hear a tender word
Won't you sing him home again?

Nightingale, she sails away up on a sea of song
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along
When his strength is slowly going his pride is all but gone
She makes a foolish dreamer listen to one last song

Nightingale ooh sing sweet nightingale
Oh, na, na, na, na, na
Nightingale, oh nightingale, oh nightingale
Sing, sing, sing, sweet nightingale
