Coastguard Lyrics - Singles - The Young Knives

Coastguard are you familiar? 

High tides are not peculiar 

And on the table is a yellow coat 

On the table is a yellow coat 

Mummy tries 

Bye, bye 

Mummy tries 

Bye, bye 

Think back what were you doing then 

Back turned and turned back again 

And on the table is your sorry face 

On the table is your sorry face 

Mummy tries 

Bye, bye 

Mummy tries 

Bye, bye 

Deep black and deep 

She takes the most 

Black deep and black 

She takes the most 

Deep black and deep 

She takes the most 

Black deep and black 

She takes the most 

Sit down its what you always do 

Talk loud, who are you talking to? 

And at the table is an empty place 

At the table is an empty place 

Mummy tries 

Bye, bye 

Mummy tries 

Mummy tries 

These are the pearls that were her eyes 

Shes flotsam carried on the tides 

Is she lost or did she hide 

On shifting rocks, on shifting rocks? 

She couldnt swim, she couldnt see 

The current pushing out the sea 

Down estuaries and tributaries on Benthic rocks 

Shes wrecked on Benthic rocks 

Shes been swept away 

Shes been swept away 

Shes been swept away 

Shes been swept away
