View From Up Here - Michael Johns & The Ontic

The big corner office A twelve-person team A slick leather chair The American dream My mom used to clean ritzy places like these With their overpriced art And their walls of degrees Well, now it's all mine With my name on the door A big, fancy desk on the 38th floor Look at the girl who did right At the height of a hard-won career What could surpass Giant windows of glass Framing miles of blue That's the view from here That's the view from here They say, "Climb the ladder, no matter the cost" But nobody tells you how much can get lost That decent and hopeful young woman you were Well, you wake up one day, and you wonder What happened to her? That woman was made to see good in each heart But now she gets paid to pull people apart And, I mean, hey, look at me MVP, Employee of the Year Well, maybe, I guess that this looks like success But it doesn't feel true That's the view from here That's the view from here I could keep doing oppo Keep digging up dirt Pretend I don't care when nice people get hurt Block out the guilt that I'd have to ignore For a raise, as I rise to the 39th floor Or, I can walk out this door And defiantly quit There's a line you can't cross And I think this is it Oh, maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right No, it's perfectly clear At the end of the day Words are easy to say But it looks like the walking away Is a little bit harder to do That's the view from here

Like a curtain being drawn upon a room You, disappear from view Like the grey, edging out the blue You, disappear from view. And is it gonna be A long, hard Winter? And is it gonna be A long, hard Winter? Like clouds rolling in, of the sea The way, the way you are to me Like the leaves, darkening their hue You, disappear from view. And is it gonna be A long, hard Winter? And is it gonna be A long, hard Winter? You, disappear form view Disappear from view Disappear from view You, disappear from view Disappear from view Disappear from view From view

There once was a ship that put to sea And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her, a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down below (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go No line was cut, no whale was freed The captain's mind was not on greed But he belonged to the whaleman's creed She took the ship in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go For 40 days, or even more The line went slack, then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The line's not cut and the whale's not gone The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the captain, crew, and all Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go

Oh, I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine I had a little stretch of land, along the western line But times were hard, and though I tried, the money wasn't there And bankers came and took my land and told me, "Fair is fair" I looked for every kind of job, the answer always, "No" "Hire you now?" they'd always laugh, "We just let twenty go" The government, they promised me a measly little sum But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum And I said, "Who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone I'm going to be a pirate on the river Severn!" (Yarr! Yoo-hoo, whoo) And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho Coming down the plains (whoop) Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a-ho-hey-hi-hey, farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores You'd think the other farmers would know that I'm at large But just the other day, I saw an unsuspecting barge I snuck up right behind them, and they were none the wiser I rammed their boat and sank it, and I stole the fertilizer! The bridge outside of Redwick spans a mighty river Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver 'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay (ha-ha-arr) I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold And sail off with their hay And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho Coming down the plains (whoop) Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a-ho-hey-hi-hey, farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores Well officer Robbie chased me, he was always at my throat But he followed on the shoreline cause he didn't own a boat But cutbacks were a-coming, and the copper lost his job And now he sails with us, and we call him Salty Rob A swinging sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company I'll never pay my income tax and screw the VAT (Screw it!) Sailing down to Thornbury, the terror of the sea If you wanna get to Tesco, boys, you've gotta get by me And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho Coming down the plains (whoop) Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a-ho-hey-hi-hey, farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores Well pirate life's appealing, but you don't just find it here I hear that up in Yorkshire there's a band of buccaneers They roam around the Yorkshire dales from Smith to Beverley And you're bound to lose your flat cap if you have to pass their way Winter is a-coming, and a chill is in the breeze My pirate days are over if the rivers starts to freeze Well, I'll be back in springtime and now I've got to fly I hear there's lots if plundering down in the Isle of Wight And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho Coming down the plains (hey) Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a-ho-hey hi-hey, farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho Coming down the plains (whoop) Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains And it's a-ho-hey-hi-hey, farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores Hey

Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land And I paddle away from brave England's white sands To search for my long ago forgotten friends To search for the place I hear all sailors end As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea I remember the fallen, do they think of me? When their bones in the ocean forever will be Plot a course to the night to a place I once knew To a place where my hope died along with my crew So I swallow my grief and face life's final test To find promise of peace and the solace of rest As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea I remember the fallen, do they think of me? When their bones in the ocean forever will be When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand I shed a small tear for my home upon land Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes And my boat listed over and tried to capsize I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea I remember the living, do they think of me? When my bones in the ocean forever will be Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss I'm not sure what I want, but I don't think it's this As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on I make sail for the dawn 'til the darkness has gone As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind As I live all the years that they left me behind I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea I remember the fallen and they think of me For our souls in the ocean together will be I remember the fallen and they think of me For our souls in the ocean together will be
