The Pop Group - Savage Sea Lyrics

I was waiting for a mermaid to appear
Saying "come little boy
Drown your fears," you're young
We're being explorers with the spirit of Doctor Livingston
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 new 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
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

Exiles

We're getting old
