All at Sea

Band songlist

Info

All at Sea is a song originally intended to be on The Libertines' debut album, Up The Bracket. It was cut from the final version and only heard by fans when it was released as a B Side to The Libertines' single, Can't Stand Me Now, and then again on a free 5-track CD with The Observer newspaper[1]. The title means feeling bewildered and confused, and the song gives a feeling of romanticising about the past.

Lyrics

I know I don't know you
But don't think I don't know you
I saw you going under
I saved one for me

Cause I'm all at sea lad
Don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no thorn, North Star, can't not poison talk
It belongs to me

I only wanna
Oh I just wanna
Oh I don't want anything, means to the world to me

Well I'm all at sea dad
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no hope, no fear, there's no rent or rears
Leave it all to me

If you take it all away
Pile up everything you never wanted
Ain't it just too bad
Never wanted it so bad

Now where can I go?
To hear the songs I need
I used to go to your room
And open up a move making me

Ah tell me where can I go?
To hear the songs I need
Oh you find me in your room
Listen to open up

Now where can I go?
Just to hear the songs I need
You find me in your room
Open up for me
