If You Ever See Me Talking To A Sailor (《末日之舰》音乐剧歌曲) - Rachel Tucker/The Last Ship Company[00:00:00]

Written by：Sting[00:00:06]

When the winds[00:00:08]

From the eastern quarter[00:00:09]

And there's a pungent taste of salt[00:00:11]

Upon the breeze[00:00:14]

Something troubles your insides[00:00:16]

Like a scum upon the tides[00:00:18]

A something washed up on the beach[00:00:20]

Down by the quays[00:00:22]

Intuition's what a girl[00:00:27]

In love relies on[00:00:30]

I should've known[00:00:33]

He only wanted to be free[00:00:34]

I drew my line upon the sand[00:00:39]

Only a fool would ever stand[00:00:43]

Between a man[00:00:46]

And his involvement[00:00:49]

With the sea[00:00:53]

And when the tide rolls out[00:00:59]

You'll find your bed is empty[00:01:02]

And he's gone[00:01:03]

So if you ever see me talking to a sailor[00:01:07]

Some scurvy no good mongrel of a tar[00:01:11]

You knock the drink out of my hand[00:01:14]

Push me over where I stand[00:01:16]

Take a slug at me[00:01:18]

But somewhere I won't scar[00:01:19]

Pin my body to the ground[00:01:21]

And slap my face to bring me round[00:01:23]

Then you can roll my silly ass[00:01:25]

Out of this bar[00:01:27]

For a sailor's not a man to be trusted[00:01:29]

He'll bill and coo call you his chickadee[00:01:33]

Oh but when he's had his way[00:01:36]

All you'll get is his good day[00:01:38]

Then he'll blow a kiss[00:01:40]

And scuttle back to sea[00:01:41]

And when the tide rolls out[00:01:44]

You'll find your bed is empty[00:01:46]

And he's gone[00:01:48]

So if you ever see me talking to a sailor[00:01:51]

And I blithely stand[00:01:55]

There passing time of day[00:01:56]

No don't you hesitate to think[00:01:58]

Someone's tampered with your drink[00:02:00]

And he's shaking out your handbag[00:02:02]

In the time it takes to blink[00:02:05]

And all the booze you've ever bought him[00:02:06]

He's just throwing up in the sink[00:02:08]

Just call the funny farm and carry me away[00:02:10]

For a sailor's not a man to be trusted[00:02:15]

He's treacherous as tides and hidden reefs[00:02:18]

And just to get you up the stairs[00:02:22]

He'll quote the bible in his prayers[00:02:23]

And before you know[00:02:26]

He's bound for tenerife[00:02:27]

And when the tide rolls out[00:02:29]

You'll find your house is empty[00:02:31]

And he's gone[00:02:33]

And when the tide rolls out[00:02:34]

You'll find your heart is empty[00:02:37]

And he's gone[00:02:38]

And when you become a woman[00:02:42]

Of a certain age[00:02:44]

You'll find it's difficult[00:02:46]

To trust a man[00:02:47]

Difficult to gauge[00:02:49]

When that bills rat who left you[00:02:51]

Without a living wage[00:02:53]

Thinks there's still[00:02:55]

That tawdry glamour of the sea[00:02:56]

That I swear to god's[00:03:00]

Completely lost on me[00:03:04]

So if you ever hear me[00:03:19]

Talking to a sailor[00:03:24]

Some mangy sea dog skulking[00:03:26]

On the quay[00:03:28]

Ah just remind me what I've said[00:03:30]

Or you can shoot me in the head[00:03:32]

And then throw my bleeding body[00:03:44]

In the sea[00:03:52]

You'll find your bed is empty[00:04:07]

And he's gone[00:04:08]
