jioffe, thanks for implicating on this thought. About the next subject for April whichever of these before remarked should be already decided , anyway and although we're still 10 days ahead to pick, we shouldn't rest on ourselves' laurels, "the new BRICK is around the corner", which will have all of us completely bewitched . And if in any case no one responds we'll have to display a democratic poll

H.P. Lovecraft - The Drifter . Psychedelia from 1967
I envy the ship sailing out of your harbours I swap dirty jokes with your butchers and barbers I think silent thoughts while the jukebox is playing And all of the time my own heart is saying
H.P. Lovecraft - The White Ship
The white ship has sailed and left me here again Out in the mist, I was so near again Sailing on the sea of dreams How far away it seems Sailing upon the white ship

Eric Burdon & Jimmy Whiterspoon - Driftin'
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. Well I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me. If my baby would only take me back again. If my baby would only take me back again. I would feel much better, darling, and at least I'd have a friend. I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do. I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do. You is a sweet little girl but I swear you won't be true. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.

Janu, Great song! I can't beleive I didn't think to add it, I was only listening to Clapton's version yesterday!

A simple "Crossroads". Pat, you can also add the Clapton's version if you wish. Great and a pleasant find your Sutherland's ships song. Thank you.
Welcome to this sailing diversion Full Frontal Buddah and thanks for your good offer
Great batch, Charlie.
Phil Ochs - Pleasures Of The Harbor
And the ship set the sails They've lived the tale To carry to the shore Straining at the oars Or stairing from the rail

Perhaps a dubious entry to this thread but here goes Robs Sailed Away taken from his Home Truths release
Lyrics-
Although I never knew you... I was moved close to tears. When I learned of your fate, your misfortune. Yes I was struck with fear.
You didn’t listen to her then (And you still don’t) Instead you drove her round the bend, And scraped upon each others bones. Do you recall the scent she left upon your cheek. She said that she would stay....
But she sailed away.
It’s clear that you miss her, It’s evident you crave her voice. There’s not a thousand like her, And my boy she’s made her choice.
You didn’t listen to her then (And you still don’t) Instead you drove her round the bend, And scraped upon each others bones. Do you recall the scent she left upon your cheek. She said that she would stay....
But she sailed away.

My Ship My Star - Gordon Jackson
Gordon Jackson's album, Thinking Back, was produced by Dave Mason, it's a mellodic distillation of folk, pop and psychedelia which could almost be called a lost Traffic album, featuring as it does the talents of Stevie Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason and Chris Wood. A true lost classic. Enjoy.
Nice jioffe's & Preston's suggestions have already been updated on the songs list. Great job mates. Thanks.

Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross
Got out of town on a boat Goin' to Southern Islands Sailing a reach Before a followin' sea She was makin' for the trades On the outside And the downhill run To Papeete Off the wind on this heading Lie the Marquesas
The song isn't about a ship but does mention one that always evokes emotion. Mountain Men- "and from the church I hear the singing as the ship moves sadly from the pier" Great imagery and I alway think about a ship of young men off to war
I'm sorry tullabye, reading the thread back again from the first page I did notice I hadn't added yet your good proposal on the song list, now it's have already been fixed on it. Thanks
The poacher and his daughter throw soft shadows on the water in the night. A thin moon slips behind them as they pull the net with no betraying light. And later on the coast road, I meet them and the old man winks a smile. And who am I to fast deny the right to take a fish once in a while? I walk with them, they wish me luck when I ship out on the Sunday from the kyle. And from the church I hear them singing as the ship moves sadly from the pier. Oh, poacher's daughter, Sunday best, two hundred brave souls share the farewell tear.
There's a house on the hillside, where the drifting sands are born. Lay down and let the slow tide wash me back to the land where I came from. Where the mountain men are kings and the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Did my tour, did my duty. I did all they asked of me. Died in the trenches and at Alamein ...died in the Falklands on T.V. Going back to the mountain kings where the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Long generations from the Isles sent to tread the foreign miles where the spiral ages meet. Felt naked dust beneath their feet. Future sun called winds to blow and the past and present hard-eyed crow flew hunting high and circling low over blackened plains of Eden.
There's a child and a woman praying for an end to the mystery. Hoping for a word in a letter fair wind-blown from across the sea to where the mountain men are kings and the sound of the piper counts for eveything.
There's a house on the hillside, where the drifting sands are born. Lay down and let the slow tide wash me back to the land where I came from. Where the mountain men are kings and the sound of the piper counts for everything. Where the real mountain men are kings and the sound of the piper counts for everything.
Feel the naked dust beneath my toes while the future sun calls winds to blow and the past and present black-eyed crow flies hunting high and circling low between dream mountains of our Eden.
Jethro Tull- Mountain Men, from the album Crest of a Knave

Great find, Erin. An extraordinary vinyl which I own and I hadn't looked it up yet. . There are 139 songs posted so far including yours.
140 The Siren Song - VDGG
So the siren song runs through the ages, and it courses through my veins like champagne; and with all the sweet kisses of addiction it's calling me to break my bonds again.
Future memory exploding like shrapnel, some splinters escape on my tongue, some of them scar comprehension... beneath the scab they burn, but the wound becomes numbs. And always the song draws me forward, rejoicing in the search and the prayer, bored with all but the mad, the strange, the freak, the impossible dare. Still your laugh chills my marrow till I embrace it on my knees.... Oh, when the mast becomes a flagpole, what becomes of me?
There are out there a big bunch of Siren's songs about, don't keep silent, bastards!!
I have a puzzle with a terrific blues song that I want to post here yet I don't find the lyrics anywhere online but I don't get to solve if Charlie mentions some boats or ships quotes in the central lines of the verses. I just listen some "seas around" quote. Any help will be ever welcomed. Thanks.
