Ecologist - Mermaid Song [LP Version] Lyrics

She said I come from a Northern Sea
'Cos I'm half a fish you see
I'll sing for you and you'll have no doubt about it
I'll bind with a look
With every cliché in the book
You'll fall in love with me
And I will drown you

You're the storm and I'm the boat
You're the sea that keeps me afloat
You're the wave that breaks my back
And takes me down

You're the rocks that rip my sails
You're the splintered wood and nails
You're the mast that falls apart
And takes me down

Sing, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a man and a fish gone wrong
Sing, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a siren goes on and on and on

T'was a disaster to set sail
But I throw myself over the whale
Christ that woman sure looks beautiful to me
She sings a siren song
And I know it won't be long
Before I'm tucked up
And sleeping with the fishes

Well I thought you were my boat
'Cos you taught me how to float
You set my sails and then you became a storm
You ripped apart my sails
You pulled out all my nails
I feel so broke up
I want to go home

Sing, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a siren goes on and on
Sing, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a man and a fish gone wrong
Sing from the heart
Like a dolphin swims
The cradle of the sea
When two become twins
A Mermaid and man
A man and fish
From truth revealed
You are what you wish

Sing, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a man and a fish gone wrong
Sings, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a siren goes on and on
Sings, sing, sing
Sing the Mermaid song
The song of a man and a fish goes wrong
