lyrics

Down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea. O’ sea-gypsy pirate come along in their boat, says let me take you to where the land runs out and there’s nothing but sea. Now if the fish keep biting we can live for free, we’ll make a place to sleep down by the beach, we can make alcohol from anything that grows and live where the turtles dig all the way down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea. And here where the land ends and the plastic ends up, we can live and hide until the fish run out and there’s nothing but sea. Oh I am sick of working, you can take my job, and I’ll build a boat out of what has been thrown out, take it down to the water, through the river and out of the mouth of the estuary and all the way down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea. Oh sea-gypsy do what a sea-gypsy must, and turtle eggs make up for the fish that have been lost and planting coconut trees wins back the land, for under the plastic there’s sand all the way down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea. ‘Cos darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, so won’t you take me down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea. Down, down, down to the sea.
