Sea Theory

Did you ever get an invitation?
A little window to another life
Got so many tales
A lot of ales and rotten rails
Terrible discussions with the wife
Clawing at the arse end of the evening
Watch me as I play the rotten game
I get my cods out by the dustbin of the gods
Stand there 'til the sun comes out again

I got a sea theory
Gonna bore my friends
Sea theory
Still pushing in
Sea theory
Gonna act it out
Sea theory
Gonna test it in

Spent a long time frowning at the sandwich
Wearily I bring it into play
Mona's bright makes that shit look so easy every night
Everything's enormous once again
Washed up with seaweed and syringes
Tide comes in and then goes out again
It's all very foul and unbelievably banal
Underneath the boardwalk in the rain

I got a sea theory
Gonna blow your mind
Sea theory
Can't defend it
Sea theory
It's a piece of work
Sea theory
Gonna make your teeth ache

Sea theory in the disco
One of many theories of the sea
Everybody's songs are never ending 'til they're gone
Carve a little pleasure out of me
Gonna get my dinner from the chip shop
Now I have to eat it on the hoof
Everybody sighs
And everybody multiplies
No one cares too much about the truth

Sea theory
Sea theory
Sea theory
A pack of lies
Sea theory
