A Pirate’s Life Lyrics by We Cut Corners

Today I Realised I Could Go Home Backwards

0

The night breaks into little parts
And I'm reduced to stealing hearts
It's a pirate's life for me
You floated over on the tide;
I kissed you on the starboard side
It's the perfect side to be
Most of the time, I spend
Lying around on the deck
My friends said "It's a gamble";
I said, "What the heck"
Look at me now, I'm all out at sea
It's a pirate's life for me
You curse the sea, you come in rough;
You said if I believеd in love
I'd take you home from it
But I'm committеd to these crimes:
I've given up a thousand times
But I will never quit
You told me I gave you
A lifetime worth of grief;
I must be
The commonest kind of thief
If I only stole from you
That which I need
It's a pirate's life I lead
Now I'll admit it was remiss
To sail you to the precipice
And then leave you there alone
But had I ever told you so
You never would've agreed to go
And then I'd be on my own
The greatest romances end
With a minimum fuss
You live by the sword, and
You're hit by a bus
You live by the river, and
Drown in the sea
It's a pirate's life for me
