The Irish Times 4**** "'Three People', 'The Leopard' and 'A Pirate's Life' echo The Frames and Conor O'Brien (Villagers) in their ebbs and flows, while 'Go Easy' is a magnificent, heartwarming thrill." // Hot Press 4**** ..lyrics are great throughout, reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian at their most sweetly caustic.

(Verse 1)
C Fmaj7
The night breaks into little parts and I’m not used to stealin hearts
C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
its a pirates life for me
C
You floated over on the tide,
Fmaj7
I kissed you on the starboard side
C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am (hammer on & off D string)
it’s the perfect side to be
(Bridge)
Dm G E/B
Most of the time I spend lying around on the deck
G#/AB C#/DB
My friend said it’s a gamble I said what the heck
C Am D9 Am D9
look at me now I’m all out at sea
Am Fmaj7 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 (hammer D string again)
it’s a pirates life for me
(Verse 2)
C
You cursed the sea becomming rough
Fmaj7 C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
you said if I believed in love I’d take you home from it
C
but I’m committed to these crimes
Fmaj7 C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
I’ve given up a thousand times but I will never quit
(Bridge)
Dm G E/B
You told me I gave you a lifetime worth of grief
G#/AB C#/DB
I must be the commonest kind of theif,
C Am D9 Am D9
if I only stole from you that which I need
Am Fmaj7 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9
its a pirates life I lead
C C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am Fmaj7 C x2
Woah hoo-oo-oo-oo
hoo-oo-oo
(Verse 3)
C Fmaj7 C
Now I’ll admit it was remiss to sail you the precipis and then lead you
C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
there alone
C Fmaj7 C
but had I ever told you so you never would have agreed to go and then I’d
C/B Am D9 Am D9 Am
be on my own
(Bridge)
Dm G E/B
the greatest romances end with a minumus fuss
G#/AB C#/DB
you live by the sword and you’re hit by a bus
C Am D9 Am D9
you live by the river and drown in the sea
Am Fmaj7 C
its a pirates life for me
