Lyrics for The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul by Xtc:
| | | Artist: | Xtc |
| | Album: | Skylarking | | Track: | The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 232 | | | | Lyrics: | The man who sailed around his soul
From East to West, from pole to pole
With ego as his
drunken captain
Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold
The man who
walked across his heart
Who took no compass, guide or chart
To rope and tar his blood
congealed
When he found his self revealed ugly and cold
And the sirens that
sing
By your nose with its ring
They'll drag you in
For your sins
Now he
sits all alone
And it's no place like home
It's empty skin
A bag to keep life's
souvenirs in
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his
soul
The man who sailed around his soul
Came back again to find a hole
Where
once he thought compassion and the truth
Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on
return
The man who walked across his heart
Was doomed to journey from the
start
Of every love affair he'd broken
All the lies he'd ever spoken
Tattooed on his
arm
And the jellyfish stings
Even angels with wings
Who look too deep
And dare
to peep
Now he sits all alone
Knowing flesh blood and bone
Is
everything
He found the treasure he'd been seeking
The man who sailed around his soul | | | |
