Down by the sea
Down by the sea Dead seaweed lies Down by the sea Some seashell dies Down by the sea A crab digs a hole Down by the sea You lost your soul Down by the sea Dead sardines wash up Down by the sea Dead muscles cover the seabed Everything dies When They are washed up By the Wild waves Ending on the golden Harmless Inoccent Sand.

Albatrosses
We're moving on Moving on  Moving on  Moving on  Moving on  Moving on  Moving on  Our white wings spread We circle the ocean Circle the ocean Circle the ocean He falls He's shot He's shot He's shot He's shot We circle the spot Where he fell He fell He fell He fell We pull a feather Each out of our tail Out of our tail Out of our tail

Pearls
Pearls Lay scattered on the seabed Where no one can find them Only a lonely shark Snaps and snaps at them They lay untouched, they lay unharmed Down there on the seabed Trying to shine harder To show that they are there No one ever bothered To make a fortune On the seabed Yet the pearls are Sinking into the sand Until the tsunami Comes and washes them Onto the seaside No one can make a fortune Tsunamis kill Then tsunamis die This one was monstrous It killed reporters Dug the bones in the sand So now pearls Lay scattered on the seaside.
