I used to be a sailor, Tracy Chapman
(Matters of the heart, 1992)
I used to be a sailor
Who sailed across the seas
But now I'm just an island
Since they took my boat away from me
Oh no 

I don't like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they'll fall
And set me free 

He wrote his epitaph
He wrote his eulogy
It said "I think that I can die now
For my true love won't come for me"
Oh no 

I don't like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they'll fall
And set me free 

I used to be a sailor
Who sailed across the seas
But now I'm just an island
Since they took my boat away from me
Oh no 

I don't like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they'll fall
And set me free 

Set me free
Set me free

Set me free



Octopus's Garden, The Beatles
 (Abbey Road, 1969)

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you



Message In A Bottle, The Police (Reggatta de Blanc, 1979)

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Sending out an SOS


Ocean, The Cure (The 13th, 1996)

I don't think I'm any closer now
Than I was at fifteen
I still don't know what I really want
Or how I really feel
Sometimes I think I've seen too much
Sometimes nothing at all
And sometimes I think I just forgot
What I was looking for

But I still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Telling me you care?

But I still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
Tell me you believe it too
Tell me that you care
How can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Pretending?
