"The Ship Song"
by Concrete Blonde
-a Nick Cave cover
Starts out with a G strummed up and then...
(SW) Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down
We make a little history baby, everytime you come around
Come lose your thoughts upon me, and let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery baby, everytime you call around
We talk about it all night long
(ALL... NIGHT LONG)
And we define our moral ground
(OH...YEAH...)
(*both) But when I crawl into your arms, everything, it comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
We make a little history baby, everytime you come around
(JN) Are your faces falling sad now, for you know the time is night
Well I must remove your wings, and you, you must try and fly
(do the beginning [the chorus] a couple times)
*solo*
(do the beginning [the chorus} some more and play around with it)
(Johnette does some of her cool singing et al.)
