Pill Sailor

Lyrics

A pit bull tattoo, one good eye of blue That's wandering still but what can you do These ropes are all knotted and tangled round me I'm a sailor who wandered a little too far from the sea Did they raise up this child just to die To stare for too long into the sky Shirley Bassey's from Tiger Bay But I'll spend my nights down in Pill They shut down the docks, thrown our lives on the rocks But my good eye's wandering still Past the pubs where I festered all day Transporter bridge transport me away 'Cos thеse rope are all knottеd and tangled round me I'm a sailor who wandered a little to far from the sea They passed in the channel great ships by the score To carry out coal and to carry in ore And at night these old sea legs were anxious to stray They'd come from all over but never intended to stay So tell me something I don't know And find me a skipper with somewhere to go 'Cos these rope are all knotted and tangled round me I'm a sailor who wandered a little to far from the sea
