Mermaids
Draw yourself to the water 
On your knees to the tide 
And your master's calling 
The bees back to the hive 

It's a funny old feeling inside 

Gonna end where it started 
A jigsaw played on it's own 
Yeah but that's what you wanted 
Shrugged aside the words and tied yourself to the throne 

Zodiacal constellations 
Excuses for what we are 
Like a mermaid in an ocean 
Torn between opposing stars 

It's a funny old feeling inside 

Gonna work this land of plenty, building memories 
Cos bridges are too rough on the hands 
And earn my brittle fortune 
Come away a poorer man 

It's a funny old feeling inside 
It's a funny old feeling when you cannot hide 
It's a funny old place to call home 
It's a funny old feeling...case closed 

One by one 
Those knots that you tied come undone 
Impatient monkey man will get stung 
By the hands of the clock 
Time to flee the flock 
And a ship named ' Demise ' sailed past your blinkered eyes 
To a chorus of fear that you chose not to hear 
Who's sorry now? 
Who started this row? 
Who called for a truce to end the abuse? 
Yeah, one by one 
Those knots come undone 
Like shots from a gun 
No this won't be fun
