The Pop Group - Savage Sea lyrics

I was waiting for a mermaid to appear Saying, "Come little boy, drown your fears," so young We're the new explorers with the spirit of Dr. Livingstone We'll talk to the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me We won't die together in the desert, we'll escape from the men of prey We'll smile like the French Resistance and laugh at the guillotine We'll talk to the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me Disapproved of life around them So they created a world of their own You're my last request before the firing squad But bullets cannot penetrate the sea We'll hide in the savage sea It's the only direction for you and me Why should heroes always die in battle? Take the violin We're exiles We're exiles We're exiles
