about

a different version of this song was previously released on 7" vinyl

lyrics

out into the blue, never to return, out into the blue
a man out at sea is an insect, an insect on a splinter
that’s where I met my end, on the foreigner’s ship
with rats on the lines...
out into the blue, never to return, out into the blue

he will not cooperate with those in control
and goes to file his complaint across the sea
the ship's captain takes a king's bribe
Hasan slipped his cable before he returned
a sailor sewed him up in the canvas
and out of the fog death appeared, out at sea

these crimes at sea will go down like a sunken treasure
secrets that no one will tell
a murdered ghost will warn the son
one day they'll conspire against you as well
go out into the blue...
