coastguard Lyrics

I'll sleep with the fishes

Bathed in the silt

In garments of seaweed

And salt on my skin

There're chains round my ankles that

Catch the light from the coastguard

This beach town's so pretty

I should have sent you a postcard

I swim into setbacks

As strong as the tide

The sail's in the, the boat's moored

So I give my tired arms another try

Can't do what I love to do

There's no heavier weight

Than being this competent

At that which I hate

There's seashells for eyeballs that

Catch the light from the coastguard

This beach town's so pretty

I should have sent you a postcard

I swim into setbacks

As strong as the tide

The sail's in the, the boat's moored

So I give my tired arms another try

I swim into setbacks

As strong as the tide

The sail's in the, the boat's moored

So I give my tired arms another try
