Band: The Beautiful South
Album: Painting it Red
Song: The Mediterranean

Little seas can be big seas
To the wrong or long of sight
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight
The Doctor told me the chemist
He had nothing for my plight
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight
This ocean puts in motion
All our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kontiki
When it’s always been left in port
I’d rather be cemented
In deep blue building sites
Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight
Little voyage can be big voyage
If you sail in the middle of night
But the Mediterranean
Needs the compass tonight
It gives cheap thrills to the seagulls
Life to lifes little kites
But the Mediterranean
Is my aspirin tonight
