Sailor - Sailor Lyrics






Sailor, get your feet on the ground
Get your leave, get your money, get yourself into town
(Lonely town needs you around)
Sailor, won't you stay for awhile?
There's a town full of girls that could do with a smile
(Lonely girls, brush up your curls)

Get in the game, pick out the dame
This is the place where you set the pace
The streets are lit with the good times rolling
The bars are filled with the good stuff floating
Set 'em up Joe, let the booze flow

Give out the juice, she won't refuse
This is your chance for love and romance
Your leave is short but the action's growing
Get in the game before you start slowing down

Hey, sailor, is there anything wrong?
There's a dame in your lap but your style is wrong
(She's ok, so don't run away)
Sailor, is it true what they say
That you don't look so tough when the girls are away?
(Boy, boy, boy, where's all your joy)

Do what you know, put on a show
Don't be afraid, you should have it made
You've got to live up to all those stories
Sailor boy with your mixed-up glories
Set 'em up Joe, let the booze flow

Pull up your socks, pull out the stops
Do what you can, they'll understand
It's hard to make up for all that sailing
Out on the sea, you lose all your training
Let the booze flow, let yourself go

  8. U.... M....

    Georg Kajanus : "Eclection" , "Sailor" , "Data" , "Noir"

  13. N.... Y....

    Kemis & good dance music with a lot of good memorie. Those were the days

  14. P.... ....

    I was 10 years old back then :-) I liked this song inmediately! This year i even found a predecessor ( album ) on vinyl with Jacaranda ...a glas of champagne...:-) ....in 1983 i found another song from....Data...Did not know at first that it was a Georg Kajanus project...But i was into synth/dance for a while, and that song was awesome..! Still is :-)

  15. J.... D....

    Went to see them back in the 70's, they were terrific (may have been the London Palladium). Completely bowled over by the Nickledeon at the time and Henry Marsh's British tourist stage personna. The funny thing was that a lot of dads were taking their children along for the show, they'd been on TOTP at the time and their were Sailor singing songs about red light areas and prostitutes. You don't see that too often!

  16. B.... V....

    Fantastic Song,..Unique sounding band☺

  17. G.... M....

    When i was 4 they were my favorite band. Now i am 32. Still my favorite band. Yes, i've been to panama, yes, i took a camera. Got laid! Best advice ever

    G.... M....

    Top man!!

  18. I.... R....

    1976-2016, 40 years ago and its still a great song!!

    I.... R....

    2016-2019, 3 years ago and it's still a good comment

  19. I.... B....

    Whoa, It's the first time I've heard this one for a few decades. I always thought their stage set-up looked good, with their back-to-back pianos, if that's what they are!

  20. T.... ....

  44. 1.... ....

    For me, this song is the best! I love it!!

  45. W.... C....

    @stone1584444 dan ben je een nederlander , daar konden ze deze mooie song wel lusten

  46. P.... J....

    On the radio today (Chris Tarrant, radio 2) he interviewed The Hoosiers, they said the drummer from Sailor is now a chemistry teacher and he encouraged them to form a band.

  47. G.... T....

    Those were the days!

  48. M.... T....

    Unsencored version...

  49. M.... T....

    I was about fifteen and a big fan of sailor, especially Georg. A huge poster on my bedroom wall. Fantastic! Now I'm fifty years old and I saw them last year live without Georg, but still fantastic.

  50. J.... ....

    Op nummer 1787 in de Top 2000

  51. J.... O....

    I forgot about that intro...great to hear the song again. It was a #2 hit in Spring 1975 in my country. Thanks for posting!

  52. U.... M....

    Are they playing a Mellotron??

  53. B.... ....

    1 dislike out of 59,500 views! Not bad! Lived in Europe in the mid-70's and got to see tons of bands at festivals and concerts! These guys played at Pink Pop in Holland! Amazing to find this here! Thanks!

  54. u.... ....

    First record ever. Interesting subject this single, but never succeeded. So i am still single.

  55. S.... B....

    They had their own thing going on. Very talented.

  56. i.... ....

    Great song, love it !!!!!

  57. s.... ....

    This is the original version. They changed some lines after. This one is the best!

  58. s.... ....

    Thanx for uploading. It was and still is one of my all-time favourites!

  59. W.... ....

    Been listening to Sailor since I was 7 or 8!!

    They really helped shape my view of women in a GOOD way. Red light, distant Tahiti girls and more lol.

    Thank's guys

  60. P.... H....

    skippy, it´s only 30 years ago - Gils Girls Girls never grow old in so short a span of time.

  61. s.... ....

    Oh my God, it's so long ago, that I heard them last. Sailor was my favourite band when I was a teenager. ...

  62. s.... ....

    These guys were really great !

  63. R.... H....

    i agree - they were underated...

    their music and style deserved more attention...i like their detached sexuality...they were heterosexual (i think) but they were clearly blurring the boundaries of gender at a time when previous trail-blazers - bowie, roxy, queen, the stones etc had either left europe altogether or who had moved to america to avoid british taxes...sailor were a talented act of that period - and good fun, too.

  64. P.... ....

    Warm memories of 1976.....

    The music of Sailor enhanses that feeling!

  65. C.... K....

    The Trademark-Song ~~~ Great !!!!!
