Stranglers lyrics - Toiler On The Sea

album: Black & White (1978)
album: All Live And All Of The Night (1988)
genre:

I had a woman ship 
I took her overseas 
She left her hull unlocked 
I had to find a dock 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 

We didn't use cruel words 
To navigate cruel seas 
The wind was biting hard 
At times I had to scream 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 

And when we reached the land 
We went aground on the rocks 
Became a wreck in the sand 
Became a home for a flock 
We ventured overland 
Fought with the aliens 
The young ones used their hands 
Pointed the way to a flock 
A flock of seagulls! 
A flock of seagulls! 

Then we retraced our steps 
Rebuilt the woman ship 
I took her back up north 
I lost her in the fog 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler on the sea 
I was a toiler 
I was a toiler 
I was a toiler 
On the sea 
On the sea 
I was a toiler 
I was a toiler 
On the sea 
I was a toiler 
A toiler 
A toiler
