Lyrics
I've got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket
I currently have no money in my possession.
Wont get to space cos I haven't got a rocket
I won't be able to go to space because I don't have a rocket.
But I've air in my lungs
Despite lacking material wealth, I have the basic ability to breathe.
Eyes in my sockets
I have eyes to see.
And a heart that beats
My heart is beating, symbolizing life.
Like a tap that leaks
Describing a heartbeat as a leaky tap, possibly hinting at vulnerability.
In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
Metaphorically, difficulties arise in life without an immediate solution.
Jack in a box without a key to lock it
Feeling constrained or trapped without a solution.
Well this boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it
Despite challenges, I won't disrupt my own stability.
Cos the sea doesn't know my name
The vastness of the sea is indifferent to individual identities.
Yeah the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it
Reiteration of facing challenges without succumbing to them.
Cos the sea doesn't know my name
Reiterating the anonymity of personal struggles in the vastness of life.
Well if you can't get what you love
Advising acceptance of one's current situation if desires are unfulfilled.
You learn to love the things you've got
Encouraging appreciation for what one already possesses.
If you can't be what you want
Adapting and becoming something different if the ideal self is unattainable.
You learn to be the things you're not
Embracing change to align with new circumstances.
If you can't get what you need
If necessities are unattainable, learn to live without them.
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Advising acceptance of barriers that hinder dreaming.
All the things that stop you dreaming
Repeating the idea of accepting things that impede dreams.
Well I've got no ones word and no bodies promise
Lack of trust in others' promises or commitments.
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
No tangible achievements but a collection of artistic expressions.
And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
Despite physical challenges, personal integrity remains intact.
And my word is true
Asserting the truthfulness of one's word.
Like the sky is blue
Comparing the reliability of words to the consistency of the sky.
In the summer time when everybody gets on it
Describing a lively atmosphere, possibly socializing.
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it
Enjoying warmth and sun exposure, possibly metaphorical for positive experiences.
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Expressing the brightness and brilliance of individuals in festive times.
Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Reiteration of the radiant nature of people in joyful moments.
Well if you can't get what you love
