Bar room song masquerading as a sea Shanty

lyrics

Painted Ocean Fm/C7/A#7
Fm
I’m one step from the ocean. Swallowed like a fish
There’s a mass of water, to be a tsunami
C7
And inside of this vast box of water
and inside this great box of trash . . . . . .there’s only you.

On a painted Ocean. Coloured blues and grays
With my head above the water, the ships gone down
Well inside this endless departing
and inside this bucket of brine . . . . .there’s only you
A#7
And when the dirty nights wash through me, like an unconnected blight
And when it’s only Thursday night, when it should be Christmas/Judgement day . . . . there’s only you x2

If I could sail far away, I’d sail ‘cross the clouds
Away from the drink and the ocean I think
Like a Painted ocean, on a painted planet . . . . . there’s only you.

Guitar Shaped Hammers and Gothic Urban Blues are the result. ... more
