lyrics

Me and Pirate Jenny when we talk, we go for a little walk
Having more in common than you’d have thought
We wander down to the dock, she has a way that I have not
She sings “the ship the black freighter turns around in the harbor shooting guns from the bough”
And there are those who’d hate her, but I love her, I love her

Though I hate how your body is never touched
How your singing is never heard
I’ve never cried so much little bird, I’ve never cried

Me and Pirate Jenny on the stage, a different town, a different play
We do our monologues and then our song in sixteen bars
We are laughing in the wings, and we have wings instead of arms
Then the voice from the back says “girls, it’s time to dance”
Oh but I can’t – dance baby dance baby dance

How your body is never touched
How your singing is never heard
I’ve never cried so much little bird, I’ve never cried
The aching in my chest does not compare to that in yours
We never saw the likes of a storm like this before

Sail, set sail
