Massive Attack - Home of the whale

Tekst :

Oh my love he works upon the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
While southwards he roams to the home of the whale

And he ne er thinks of me far behind
Or the torments that rage in my mind
He is mine for only part of the year
Then I m left all alone with only my tears

All ye ladies that smell of white rose
Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold
Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn
For the man ne er returns from hunting the sperm [whale]

Oh my love he works upon the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
Chile southwards he roams to the home of the whale

    Numb

    Could I fly around the world
    If my wings were really broke
    And see so clearly
    Drowning in grey smoke
    I ve got to stay quiet
    But there s so much to say
    If I could feel my arms
    I d push it all away
    I know there is a...

    Struck a nerve

    Give me power to end all of the strife
    Courage to kill the pro-life
    I don t want to see
    You can t change me
    You tell me not to bow
    Just follow for now
    You re oh so holier than thou

    Policeman

    Everyday he wakes up
    As his bare feet hit the floor
    Grabs a cup of coffee
    Straps his Magnum on once more
    Feeds the cat he lives with
    Since his wife walked out the door
    In nine years he ll retire with a pension.
    Everyday he suffers
    Cause he...

    Long time

    The warmth in your smile is the warmth that I desire,
    Cos it s cold and lonely in this place, oh yeah.
    And I need to get close to the flames in a fire,
    and lose myself in yesterday, oh yeah.

    It s gonna be a long long...
