They hold you down
Spin you 'round
Fuck you up
And then hold you down
Waiting for
The jingle-jangle of the jailers' bangle
To set you free (oh, set me free)
Only true hearts and minds and melodies
Are said to cure all known maladies
So sing along
It won't be long
Until the whole city belongs
To true hearts and minds
Melodies will be gone
Oh and the piracy (piracy)
And they'll keep on busking through your dreams that you're living
Taking all along the seams, they're splitting
Way beneath the seas which you're living in, oh
Piracy, do you believe in honour amongst honest men?
That's not a lollipop, it's a machete
When they keep on busking through my dreams that I'm living
Way beneath the seams that are splitting
Way beneath the seas which I'm living in

Tell me, why?
Can't you look me in the eye?
Just tell me why
Why did you break my heart?

Why would it matter to you anymore, anyway?
Why can't you look me in the eye?
Just tell me why
Why did you break my heart?
Why would it matter to you so late in the day?

This town may hold no hope for me
Well, I think I'd run away to see
