Ultravox parody lyrics
One Ship’s Mate
For use with One Small Day
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
If there’s a turning tide against you
And nothing good’s coming around
Drop off some cargo you are carrying at an island
Oh my surface-dwelling friend
It is good to be human
We face off against the cre - atures
I give the cannon balls to you
It is help for escaping to the islands
Oh my surface-dwelling friend
No blight stops the humansChorus:
One mate who will not die a thousand times
Who does not spend his life in brine
One ship’s mate
One mate whose presence brings a joy to me
And lives his life the way it’s meant to be
One ship’ mateHow many tides are gonna turn against you
How many times will you sail away
How many times will all those abominations start a fight
Oh my surface-dwelling friend
No one blasts the humans[Chorus]
Turn against you, sail away[x2]
How many tides are gonna turn against you
How many times will you sail awayOne mate who will not die a thousand times
Who does not spend his life in brine
One mate whose presence brings a joy to me
And lives his life the way it’s meant to be
One mate who will not make my senses fryWho is no problem for my ears or eyes
One mate who knows what real - ly hits the spotWho is every thing that the mut - ants are not
