The oceans of the world were the home of Big Blue. He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew. And the place he loved the best was the waters of the best. Around the Big Pacific he did roam.

When I get the paper, I read it through and through, and my girl never fails to see if there is any work for meeeeeeeeee. I better go back to the house, and hear that woman's mouth preachin' and a-cryin', tellin' me that I'm lyin' about a job that I never could find. Sha-na-na-na sha-na-na-na-na.

You know it would be so great, if we could dance to the 78's. If Old Dan could see us now, I know he'd come around. If Old Dan were with us now, I know he'd be so proud.

So tell me, Grey Seal, how does it feel to be so wise? To see through eyes that only see what's real? Tell me, Grey Seal.

I agree, I'd rather not have Floyd in the top two spots, but what can I do? Those two albums are the best.
