0:37I cast the net he hauls it in
0:41Life and death it doesn't mean a thing
0:45We're ringing to the bone
0:48The day's a chaperone
0:50Slowly the night draws in
1:01I couldn't cut another throat
1:05The fish the ships are dancing for us both
1:10The captain with his hand
1:12An extraordinary man
1:14In love with the north sea's roll
1:17Heave ho heave
1:21The trawlers haul us home dear
1:25Haul us home sail us home
1:34Haul us home sail us for home
1:52The harbour bar is where we'll go
1:56To a shady hairy gentleman I know
2:01For a brandy in a glass
2:03He won't remember us
2:05Just get in the car we'll go
2:10Over the sleeping policeman's shoulder
2:16Driving home driving home driving home driving home
2:33On the back seat drive me home
2:39Drive me for home
I cast the net he hauls it in Life and death it doesn't mean a thing We're ringing to the bone The day's a chaperone Slowly the night draws in I couldn't cut another throat The fish the ships are dancing for us both The captain with his hand An extraordinary man In love with the north sea's roll Heave ho heave The trawlers haul us home dear Haul us home sail us home Haul us home sail us for home The harbour bar is where we'll go To a shady hairy gentleman I know For a brandy in a glass He won't remember us Just get in the car we'll go Over the sleeping policeman's shoulder Driving home driving home driving home driving home On the back seat drive me home Drive me for home
