מילים לשיר The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul – XTC

The man who sailed around his soul
With ego as his drunken captain
From East to West, from pole to pole
Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold The man who walked across his heart
Who took no compass, guide or chart
To rope and tar his blood congealed
When he found his self revealed ugly and cold And the sirens that sing
They'll drag you in
For your sins
Now he sits all alone
By your nose with its ring
And it's no place like home It's empty skin
The man who sailed around his soul
A bag to keep life's souvenirs in
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his soul Came back again to find a hole
Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on return
Where once he thought compassion and the truth Was doomed to journey from the start
The man who walked across his heart
Of every love affair he'd broken
All the lies he'd ever spoken
Tattooed on his arm
And the jellyfish stings
Even angels with wings
Who look too deep
And dare to peep Now he sits all alone
Knowing flesh blood and bone
Is everything
He found the treasure he'd been seeking
The man who sailed around his soul.
