Lyrics
(Heaton/Rotheray)
If I walk like a fool, I've walked like that since school
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
Who knows the effect,
That whisky could've had on me
It could've been the lure of the sea
'Cause leather ain't as strong as the weather
But leather can strangle any dream
And leather ain't as strong as the weather
But leather took Curtis from me
Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
Once I felt chained, and now, now I feel free
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Polo and Da Gama,
Well those two had nothing on me
Could be I'm a sucker for the sea
'Cause silver, ain't as quick as the tongue
But silver, took the M.L.K so young
And metal ain't as strong as the petal
But metal left the verse unsung
Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
Freedom's taken a liking to me
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Look in my eyes 'cause my belt's broke free
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
The Pirates Of Penzance,
They have nothing on me
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
