shams - brazzaville lyrics
ali was a sailor’s son
joined the merchant fleet at twenty-one
dreams of ports in distant lands
a bag of figs and some low-grade heroin
as the years rolled by at sea
ali thought about his destiny
tired of the sailor’s life
ali thought he’d find himself a wife
lisbon, guangzhou, taipei, bandung,
naples, brunei, capetown, shanghai,
bangkok, pusan, dublin, luzon,
lima, dakar, cypress, malta
sometimes things aren’t what they seem
late one night our sailor had a dream
a queen of indonesian lore
a voice he’d loved a thousand years or more
lisbon, guangzhou, taipei, bandung…
when the typhoon struck at dawn
ali had his finest civvies on
all the crew were cramped below
and with a smile into the sea he dove
lisbon, guangzhou, taipei, bandung…
