about

Originally appeared as a stand-alone single and video.

lyrics

You are the sailor in me
We are high on the seas
A trail of death and disease in every port town.

You are the devil beneath
We are wild and free
There’s nothing we couldn’t be --- reach out and take me on!

Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me.

There was a time I was good
I would do what I should
I would have helped if I could but that got boring.

And now I do as a please
I lie and I cheat
It’s all about Me! Me! --- Take me on!

Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me home.

You appeared in a Jersey Royal
On my toast and on my wall
In the cut of my back lawn
(This old world is sad and blue)
In my defence --- there was none.
(We and our kind are it’s wrecking crew)

I was a God-fearing man
I’m still a God-fearing man
I fear God when I can but it don’t suit me

And now I do as I please
I lie and I cheat
It’s all about Me! Me! --- Take me on!

Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me on.
Take me home.
