lyrics
Ye can take me love, ye can take me land, ye can even take me ancestry
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can steal me pride, ye can cross the king, ye can even learn to water ski
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye should mount yer steed and begone with ye
I don't want to hear yer lusty pleas
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
These waves are too much fer you to handle
You should spend yer day over there on the beach
You don't stand a chance, you don't even own a candle
So you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can take me life, ye can curse me grave, ye can even take the air I breathe
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
But you stay away, keep yer mittens off
Don't ye ever touch my board, you kook
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
These waves are too much fer you to handle
So you spend yer day over there on the beach
You don't stand a chance, you don't even own a candle
So you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Down, down to the briny deep
The waters here be mighty cold
And so you drown, and yer women folk will weep
The Baltic Sea will keep yer soul
Ye can take me love, ye can take me land, ye can even take me ancestry
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can steal me pride, ye can cross the king, ye can even learn to water ski
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can mount yer steed and begone with ye
I don't want to hear yer salty pleas
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
These waves may well be your fantasy
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Aight?!?

Strange Talking AnimalsSpringfield Township, New Jersey
Born in raised in Madison, WI. Transplanted to Brooklyn, Jamaica, and finally Springfield. Versed in chamber pop and rock,
psychedelic and prog, and expanding musical horizons to experience electronic and ambient musics and experiment with modular and chaotic synthesis.Overfed with science fiction and fantasy and actual science. And stay-at-home dadness....more
Albums like this are why I expanded my own musical tastes and experimentations. I can only hope my instrumental synths albums sound half this cool! Strange Talking Animals
