♫Get Me to The Harbor♫

This feels so much like Sam Cooke on the vocal. I wrote this about the flotilla, which is coming into the harbor on Thursday, but which will almost certainly not be allowed to. It smells like trouble.

Lyrics=

Satanyahu’s crying in his mug of children’s blood.

The wind is howling something in the heavens up above

I don’t know what it’s saying but it’s shivering my skin,

like a siren calling from a place that I have never been,

and never... never... want to go,

but Satanyahu’s been there,

so he would surely know.

Satanyahu’s right at home, where horrors walk the night

where the darkness is like ink and there’s not a drop of light

Get me to the harbor! Get me to the sea!

I want to watch the ships come in

And Palestine go free.

I know that they can’t do it.

They don’t have the clout

but surely God is watching

and God will see him out.

It’s a terrible injustice, like that man who owns the town

who owns the politicians, and no one can bring down.

He’s laughing at your outrage, He smiles when you cry

He mocks you with his laughter and tells another lie

like the last one you heard

Each one is more outrageous

each one is more absurd

Oh! He is right at home, in the dreams of fallen kings

All that he’s created... is was a world of broken things.

Get me to the harbor! Get me to the sea!

I want to watch the ships come in

And Palestine go free.

I know that they can’t do it.

They don’t have the clout

but surely God is watching

and God will see him out.

He tramples what was beautiful. What he could never be.

The troll who made that special fear to frighten you and me.

God sent him to confuse us about what we think is real

He’s at his greatest power when we don’t know what to feel.

Love will bring him down

Love will bring him low

even now he shakes with fear

Yes, he knows his end is near

Get me to the harbor! Get me to the sea!

I want to watch the ships come in

And Palestine go free.

I know that they can’t do it.

They don’t have the clout

but surely God is watching

and God will see him out.

Which way did he come in?

God will see him out.

Which way did he come in?

God will see him out.

Which way did he come in?

God will see him out.

God will see him out.

God will see him out.
