sometimes, sometimes,
i despise myself
that's why i despise
everybody else
i'm like a sailor born and bred
i'm a sailor on the deck
i'm like a sailor born and bred
at sea
for storms, for a war
cast ashore, i pine
cause i'm bored, i'm bored
of your sunshine
oh i'm a sailior
born and bred
i'm like a sailor
on the deck
i'm a sailor
born and bred at sea
there's something special in you boy,
it's evil and attracts
there's something special others haven't got
and no one is so miserable,
unhappy as you are
cause no one tries to tell himself he's not
you're not? you are...
if i die, i die
and it's no great loss
cause i'm bored of life
please carry me off...
cause i'm a sailior
born and bred
i'm like a sailor
on the deck
i'm a sailor
born and bred at sea
