Centaur

Hey there, look in the sky, half a horse and man flew by, it's a centaur in the night sky
Hear those thundering hooves, hear the wings on the roof, it's a centaur, in the night sky
Hey kid what you done did, silver streams from your fingertips and a halo like a rainbow
Find me Milly the Moo, half housewife and kangaroo, she goes bouncing in the town square
Centaur
Hey now, look at my shoes, take a peek at my dancer’s feet, they are broken from dancing
He’s got counterfeit teeth, stolen eyes and treacherous lips but I like that, like a centaur
Now cast magical spells, hungry wolves in Dingley Dell, they are hunting in the night sky
Centaur
Shame now everyone says, they can hear the strains of distant trains, they’re arriving in the morning
Your pa’s a funny old man, dancing gnome in a traveling band with a trumpet and a cornet
Hey Sue, what did you do? Family feud at a bbq with your corkscrew hairdo
Wise men feeding us lies, hear the horsemen flying by in the night sky it's a centaur
Centaur

Song Of The Sea

1.The white caps are rolling off the white cliffs of Dover
Stowed away when I was a young man
With a head full of romantic ideas
Sailed to Jamaica where they trade in sugar and
human misery
Captured by pirates off the coast of Florida
Kept in a cage for two long years
CHORUS
I was born a life a rovin’
I was born to be free
I was born a life a rovin’
And to sing the Song of the Sea
2.‘Scaped in a whale boat & rowed til my last breath
picked up by soldiers on the open sea
They were looking for deserters from Napoleons army
My choice was the hangman or the Royal Navy
Transporting settlers and convicts to new lands
Gibraltar, Virginia, the Barbary Coast
Set sail for distant New Holland
at the bottom of the world
CHORUS
3. Approaching Antipodes we struck a reef
was washed ashore an unknown beach
there I was saved by two native women
they wanted my trousers buttons
took me to a cave by the rocks
ex convicts and sailors hunting fur seals
the women swim and dance with the seals
then the sealers rush in a club the seals to death
CHORUS
I was born life a rovin’
I was born to be free
I was born a life a rovin’
And to sing the Song of the Sea
I was born in 1779
A new man for the new century
I am the Lord of All I Survey
No prisoner am I at all
4. After three years I jumped a ship and
sailed to the Land of the Long White Cloud
there I lived for years unknown
with Kings and Queens and cannibals
one day a boat was going to Port Jackson
so I returned to civilisation
sailed onto Kowloon and onto Blighty
