The Sailor Song (Live at Racket, New York, 2024)

Autoheart
Album : Live Me, Live Me, Live Me
Composing : Jody Gadsden, Simon Neilson, Barnaby Calman, David Roman

I was your sailor, your demon, your lover
Your overbearing best friend hoping for some attention
I saw through your automatic heartache, now I know that
Love is as love was, it's downhill from here
Should I run a million miles away from every memory of you, you?
Let that be a lesson to me,
think not with my heart, but with my head, oh
But I never really had it in me, did I, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said, "I never really had it in me, did I, did I, did I?"
Oh
I was your armchair, your mattress, your TV
Your everlasting talk show host, mouthin',
"Baby, you're wonderful"
I fell under your control, switch on, switch off
Robotic and I lost every ounce of myself
Should I run a million miles away from every memory of you, you?
Let that be a lesson to me,
think not with my heart, but with my head, oh
But I never really had it in me, did I, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said, "I never really had it in me, did I, did I, did I?"
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said, "I never really had it in me, did I?"
No, I never really had it in me
Never really had it in me
Never really had it in me did I, did I?
De-deh-ah-ah
De-deh-ah-ah
De-deh-ah-ah, ah
De-deh-ah-ah
De-deh-ah-ah
De-deh-ah-ah, oh
I was your sailor, your demon
Your lover, your overbearing best friend
Hoping for some attention
