Coastguard - The Young Knives

Coastguard Lyrics

Coastguard are you familiar?
High tides are not peculiar
And on the table is a yellow coat
On the table is a yellow coatMummy tries
Bye, bye
Mummy tries
Bye, byeThink back what were you doing then
Back turned and turned back again
And on the table is your sorry face
On the table is your sorry faceMummy tries
Bye, bye
Mummy tries
Bye, byeDeep black and deep
She takes the most
Black deep and black
She takes the mostDeep black and deep
She takes the most
Black deep and black

She takes the mostSit down its what you always do
Talk loud, who are you talking to?
And at the table is an empty place
At the table is an empty placeMummy tries
Bye, bye
Mummy tries
Mummy triesThese are the pearls that were her eyes
Shes flotsam carried on the tides
Is she lost or did she hide
On shifting rocks, on shifting rocks?She couldnt swim, she couldnt see
The current pushing out the sea
Down estuaries and tributaries on Benthic rocks
Shes wrecked on Benthic rocksShes been swept away
Shes been swept away
Shes been swept away
Shes been swept away
