All Of The Boats (Live at Mercury Lounge 4january1997 Nyc) [Cg3]
(M. Culhane)

All of the boats that won’t float
Rise from the seas below my throat
All of a hundred thousand things
Testing the core beneath my strings

All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats
Will run aground no more
Keep coming back for more

All of the notes never wrote
Give me the keys below my moat
Testing the floor before we vote
Speaking the words, sic, quote, unquote

All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats
Strip mine the ocean floor
We’ll run aground no more . . .

You’ve got a human face
The face that launched a thousand ships
(Kiss) pressing down upon my lips
From where I sit, my angle, down to your Bermuda Triangle
Expressed upon your face in silence
The cat that swallowed the Canary Islands
My inspiration’s grace

All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats

All of the boats
All of the boats
All of the boats

(All Of The Boats)
(Alright!)
(Get Out Of It)
(Hold on…)
(Let’s dance a little bit, yeh!)
