Seal Driver - Jethro Tull

Take you away for my magic ship

I have two hundred diesel horses thundering loud

Sea birds call your name and the mountain’s on fire

As the summer lightning cuts the sky like a hot wire

And you ride on the swell and your heart is alive

Think I’ll make you my seal driver

I’m no great looker, I’m no fast shakes

I’ll give you a steady push on a six knot simmering high tide

I can hold us down --- keep our head to the wind

Or let us roll on the broadside, cold spray flying in

And we’ll ride on the swell and our hearts are alive

Let me make you my seal driver

I could captain you if you’d crew for me

Follow white flecked spindrift --- float on a moonkissed sea

Could you fancy me as a pirate bold

Or a longship Viking warrior with the old gods on his side?

Well I’m an inshore man and I’m nobody’s hero

But I’ll make you tight for a windy night and a dark ride

Let me take you in hand and bring you alive

Going to make you my seal driver
