Ship Has Sailed - Soul Food Horns, Søren Søstrom & Slug

The man who sailed around his soul From East to West, from pole to pole With ego as his drunken captain Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold The man who walked across his heart Who took no compass, guide or chart To rope and tar his blood congealed When he found his self revealed ugly and cold And the sirens that sing By your nose with its ring They'll drag you in For your sins Now he sits all alone And it's no place like home It's empty skin A bag to keep life's souvenirs in The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul Came back again to find a hole Where once he thought compassion and the truth Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on return The man who walked across his heart Was doomed to journey to the start Of every love affair he'd broken All the lies he'd ever spoken Tattooed on his arm And the jellyfish stings Even angels with wings Who look too deep And dare to peep Now he sits all alone Knowing flesh, blood and bone Is everything He found the treasure he'd been seeking The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul The man who sailed around his soul

I always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget What I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the things I've done What I do and what's to come Of all the choices that I make The chances that I didn't take Of all the dreams that tried and failed Birds that flew and ships that sailed Of all the love that's lived and died Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the folks I've known How they've changed and how they've grown Some are flyin' through the sky Some are sinkin' like stones Of all the memories I keep Locked away and buried deep Of all the times I've laughed and cried Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway
