Indestructible Songtext
von Jon Langford

He sank into the ragged green
Water for the second time
Rising naked with seaweed
And a woman underneath each arm
A mouth full of broken shells
Standing trembling, most unwell
His dead life stood before him

Indestructible
Indestructible and unsinkable

Floating away
On the brandy brown waves
The waves now rolling down the street
The waves that lap about his feet
Rehearsed salutes for all he meets

Gentlemen arm in arm
Gentlemen alone
And gentlemen with ladies
Ladies walking in this city


Where the restless drown
For lost souls

No, all the creatures in the sea will still be fishing
For lost souls
Pull in their nets and drag us down
For lost souls
In every doorway in the street they have been waiting
For lost souls
Made the traps in sparkling night
For lost souls
Liquid bodies in pale light

Indestructible and unsinkable

Floating away
On the brandy brown waves
The waves now rolling down the street
The waves that lap about his feet
Rehearsed salutes for all he meets

Gentlemen arm in arm
Gentlemen alone
And gentlemen with ladies
Ladies walking in this city


Where the restless drown

For lost souls
All the blazers they vanish down the stairway
For lost souls
Into the bowels of the night
For lost souls
Liquid bodies in pale light
For lost souls

For lost souls
For lost souls
For lost souls
