Down By the Sea - Men At Work

Down by the sea

I found your hidden treasure

Just you and me

We overdosed on pleasure

Yonnies in the wind

We’re ruggin' up for winter

Putting out the bins

In cold and windy weather

Down by the docks

Live all the silent sea-ships

Crates are stored on blocks

Where now only the rats live

Sail me down the river

Till we reach the shore

Diving into the center

Eating out the core

Down on the beach

Saluting Captain Benbow

Always out of reach

It’s quiet when the tide’s low

Climbing up the cliffs

You can see for miles far

The boat that ran adrift

Is sitting on the sandbar

Laughing at the waves

That storm the river mouth

The ice is on the move now

Creeping north and south

Down by the sea

I found your hidden treasure

Just you and me

We over-dosed on pleasure

Listen to your heart

Screamin' at the sky

Can’t you feel it tremble?

Don’t you wonder why?
