Lyrics

From here you can almost see the sea

Come the weekend
And we'll be long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me

Just a parasite in the line
I'm smoking, killing the time
How long's a piece of twine
What use is sympathy
From here you can almost see the sea

If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
We could sit back
And watch the demolition

Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry
From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in a line

I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To a water so cold it makes your bones ache

Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea

Just another fool in a line
Just another fool in a line

I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice
'Til her heart stopped
