When Your Ship Comes In Songtext
von The Charlatans

When your ship comes in, my friend
You know of the smiling
I see your ship is sailing, gently, across the sea
Bring the family, bring the kids
Bring the whole fact sheets
And from a tummult in the morning
The shore is all you want to see

Snap up all your tickets
You know the ship is silent
Silent as a painting of this ship
The sea will split, the ship will hit
The bottom of the ocean
And from a tummult in the morning
The shore is all you want to see


We see sun in their eyes, their vision settles
To see if there′s no dreaming
When you know as well as me
The anchor bridle isn't there
All your hidden manners were in my hands
I′m thinking over from the blue print (Oh, oh)
And when you don't want no one knowing
You can sit around and sell it back to him

When your ship comes in, my friend
You know of the smiling
I see you striptease, you know about the hold-ups
From the west to the east
He's a champion, I′ll raise a glass
One you lose, another chesthead
And from a tummult in the morning
The shore is all you care to see

I see your ship′s coming, go
The situation's over
Leave all you see, six sailors to the go
And then the ship might head on wind
I could be with you forever (Oh, oh)
And from a tummult in the morning
The shore is all you want to see
