Lyrics
The Mediterranean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little seas can be big seas to the wrong or long of sights
But the Mediterranean looks like aspirin tonight
The doctor told me the chemist he had nothing for my plights
But the Mediterranean looks like aspirin tonight
This ocean puts in motion all our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to kontiki when it's always been left in port
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean, is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight
Little voyage can be big voyage if you sail in the middle of night
But the Mediterranean needs the compass tonight
It gives cheap thrills to the seagulls and life to life's little kites
But the Mediterranean is my aspirin tonight
This ocean puts in motion all our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to kontiki when it's always been left in port
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean, is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean, is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight
