Seal Driver lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jethro Tull
Album: Broadsword And The Beast

Lyrics

Take you away for my magic ship
I have two hundred deisel horses thundering loud
Sea birds call your name and the mountain's on fire
As the summer lightening cuts the sky like a hot wire
And you ride on the swell and your heart is alive
Think I'll make you my seal driver

I'm no great looker, I'm no fast shakes
I'll give you a steady push on a six knot simmering
High tide
I can hold us down --- keep our head to the wind
Or let us roll on the broadside, cold spray flying in
And we'll ride on the swell and our hearts are alive
Let me make you my seal driver

I could captain you if you'd crew for me
Follow white flecked spindrift --- float on a moonkissed sea

Could you fancy me as a pirate bold
Or a longship viking warrior with the old gods on
His side?
Well I'm an inshore man and I'm nobody's hero
But I'll make you tight for a windy night and a dark
Ride
Let me take you in hand and bring you alive
Going to make you my seal driver
