Lyrics:
Pulling the weight up against the wind
Is the plight of the galley slave
Chained to this cold bench, six to the oar
Sentenced to an early grave
a galley slave, my love
If only I could find out the way
To sail you, maybe I'll just stow away
I've been run aground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe
a galley slave my Love
If only I could find out the way to sail you
Maybe I'll just stow away
I've been run a ground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe
of the club
Lying on the fence
cnd even taking out your tongue
Galley slaves forever remain slaves
clang
And like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die
Must fill dishonored graves
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains
Into the bush
clang
And like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die
Must fill dishonored graves
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains
Into the bush
a galley slave
But that's become my role
Still I can't complain too much
In my high school Espanol
I'm sailing down to Panama
Gonna run across
to cool me down
And I was the galley slave
Who lost his heart when the ship went down
Lights, action, sound
Roll 'em
I had a part in the talkies
galley slaves stop rowin'
You don't know where you're goin'
But you go there all the time
You were an angel
Turned into a stranger
Heart-shaped wings
would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
as you're little boat struggles through the warning waves, but you don't pay
You will pay
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As you're little boat struggles through the warning waves, but you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow
would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
as you're little boat struggles through the warning waves, but you don't pay
You will pay
pleasure on the hilltop
Get off my back
Get off my back
Now we're treated like a galley slave
Spoken to so quite unkindly
A smacking if we misbehave
Keep
the world and back, a lowly galley slave.
But I dared break away one morn, to get back to your arms
And traversed half the world it seems
To our beloved farm
Passing people every day
Feeling like a galley slave
Wondering what to do
I wonder if the answer is you?
If you want me in your dreams
If you want me
the heat I cant feel the beat
Hey I cant find the groove I can hardly move
Im a galley slave trying to be brave
On the verge of madness
Locked up in chains
on a rope bridge
That hangs high over the stream
We are kept like galley slaves
While strangers decorate our father's graves
A dark secret of this
care what you say
I'm not your bargain bin Gunga Din
I'm not your galley slave
Keep your opinion
Of who you think who's to blame
If I do something stupid
on the galley-slaves
Pretty little picture?
Well
Let it carry your cares away
Out of sight, out of mind
Past the buoy and through the bay
Soon there's nothing
Young warrior to the drunken galley slave,
Running with the wind running wayward knave.
I'm a vagabond with a maelstrom mind
My blood has left me
gained another star
Far away the din and hurry
Far away the sin and worry
Far away — God knows they cannot be too far
Gilded galley-slaves of Mammon
of another era that came before us
Like the galley of a slave ship traveling across the transatlantic
This is nothing new as the institutions that sat
And when your ship comes in
Will it be a galley full of slaves
Or a sun streaked schooner
You came so far
Between the rocks and shoals
In
a pagan booth
Laying roots
Grazing like a sabre tooth
From the waves
In the galley
Like a slave to truth
Singing praises
To this gallery of baseless fools
