about

A jewish folk influenced song about a man who sailed too close to the shore and ended up in the drink!

lyrics

Davy Jones' Lock in

You won’t be coming home tonight
You worked up a heavy appetite
You won’t be satisfied until this feeling dies
Nothing else will do
Until it’s got a hold over you

You’re like a train that’s going to crash
Temptation is getting all too much
The lights are turning red
But there’s something in your head
A switch to overload
The lights are on but nobody is home

His ship has run aground
Compass madly spinning round
Captain nowhere to be found
He’s lost in heavy seas
Showers mainly good at first
Driven by a raging thirst
He drank until the clouds had burst their seams.

Hands slowly ticking on the clock
Here comes a little aftershock
You had a lot of fun
But your race has all been run
You find a place to hide
He won’t be seen again for quite some time

His ship has run aground
Compass madly spinning round
Captain nowhere to be found
He’s lost in heavy seas
Showers mainly good at first
Driven by a raging thirst
He drank until the clouds had burst their seams.

Davy Jone’s Lock in
Nobody could stop him
Sinking to the bottom of the sea.
