Productive in a strandkorb

Posted by Box of Chocolates

Eff is back from vacation at the baltic sea and didn’t bring sand nor seashells but a new song about an old love. It’s called „bear at sea“ and it’s a veritable shanty. Loupoe is going to kill her because of ever-changing time signatures. 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3…

Check out the lyrics:

Box of Chocolates_Bear at Sea

 

bear at sea

we were fifteen when my mother sent me down to the docks
to bring my little brother a dry pair of socks
you were fixing a motor without any luck
and when you hurt yourself and madly yelled ,fuck!‘
i watched from the quay above
and i knew that i was in love

i said: hey, i‘m your mermaid, a fisherman‘s friend
set your sails and leave the mainland!
be my bear at sea
in your arms i‘ll be free
we didn‘t know you‘d always be … twenty-three

with rollo the viking we went for a ride
you carried your baritone coffin with pride
you could set a spinnaker and slam dunk with grace
your hands would trim pirates and send a girl into space
your vinyl tastes were impeccable and steady
the lamb lied down before supper was ready

fireman‘s son and winnie the pooh
we knew nothing and our love was true
you were a bear at sea
in your arms i was free
and you‘ll always be … twenty-three

humpty dumpty dumpty and jolly baloo
we knew nothing and our love was true
you were a bear at sea
in your arms i was free
it still hurts you‘ll always be … twenty-three
