Guillemots Sea Out
No, Marbella's on the run,
In her eastern overcoat.
Used to wear a lightbulb dressing gown
Turn it on, then tear it down.
Before we went to sleep.
So Marbella upped and left,
a tuba in a treble clef.
Couldn't walk, she wouldn't cry
Dreaming was their only time
Dreams are half asleep
When they go sing out, sea out, sea out, sing out, sing out now
Sea out now, sing out now
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sea out now, sing out now
So a washed up carnival
has just reduced me to my bones
I never did the washing up
I loved the stains on every cup
They were the only hint I had
Now Marbella's gone astray
somewhere in this blackening Milky Way
I used to colour in the holes
Now I leave them blank
Now it's only spaces I have cause to thank
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sea out now
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sing out
Well, Marbella is my guest,
I treat her just like all the rest
Whisper fairytales of Neverland
Throw the pennies in her hand
Stroke her hair
and tell her I've been cheating
Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now
Sing out now, sing out now
Sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out now
Sing out now, sing out now
