  • Oh boy, these high seas can be so cool
    When you're trying to find your own way
    And girl, that man of war is a fool
    I wouldn't follow him anywhere

    Big, small, they all swim 'round their bones
    I don't care for their wishes
    Oh, striving to be better than
    Those other fishes

    Trying, before the storm
    To entice, swim to shore
    Till you can't see their boat anymore

    As the storm takes flight
    Still no land in sight
    Let the far winds blow
    Let 'em go, let 'em blow

    I know to live so far away
    On board this ship of fools with gold
    I don't care for their wishes Writer/s: Graham McPherson, Paul John Weller
