The Beautiful South - The Lure of the Sea lyrics

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 s**er 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
