"The Ship Song"
	by Concrete Blonde
	  -a Nick Cave cover

	Starts out with a G strummed up and then...

	 		 				      
(SW)	Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down
	 		  			      	     
	We make a little history baby, everytime you come around
	 		  		  	       	 
	Come lose your thoughts upon me, and let your hair hang down
	 	  	   		 	             
	You are a little mystery baby, everytime you call around
	 		  	     
	We talk about it all night long
				(ALL... NIGHT LONG)
	 		         
	And we define our moral ground
			     (OH...YEAH...)
	 		  		   				
(*both)	But when I crawl into your arms, everything, it comes tumbling down
	 				 			
	Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
	 		   			      	    
	We make a little history baby, everytime you come around
	 			       		  	  
(JN)	Are your faces falling sad now, for you know the time is night
	 	      			    		         
	Well I must remove your wings, and you, you must try and fly

	(do the beginning [the chorus] a couple times)

	*solo*

	(do the beginning [the chorus} some more and play around with it)
	(Johnette does some of her cool singing et al.)
