David Gray - A Tight Ship Lyrics
The better then
To know myself
That fear be damned
And love be wealth
To sing it like
To dance like no-one sees
That blinked an eye
That flashed a smile
But missed it by
A country mile
Now sleek to dive
In mirrored pools
And dance like no-one sees
Yeah aim it true
We'll live the way
That lovers do
We'll go defenceless
Open wide
We'll let the senses
Be our guide
We'll break the surface
Snip these strings
Relearn the grace
Of selfless things
We'll dance like no-one sees
Dance like no-one sees
We'll dance like no-one sees
Now sleek to dive in mirrored pools
So sleek to dive in mirrored pools
In mirrored pools so sleek to dive
To kiss the face
To snip the strings
Relearn the grace
Of selfless things
Then sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees us)
So sleek to dive
And sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees us)
So sleek to dive
Then sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees)

David Gray A Tight Ship Comments
Love this man! Love this song! One massive thumb up
At the start I thought his movements were paired up with the transitions on the background, and that looked kind of cool.
missed him yesterday in nederland.....first time in years....
Greetings from Chicago :)
🗿🙏🌎
love the song but video should be of people dancing along . It’s a cool dance song . Get 4 dance 💃 steps and repeat repeat repeat and dance .
Jesus Christ, did the boomy booms blow up all your wordy word books?
The song makes me addicted - it runs in endless loop all day long. I'm looking forward to the new album. Unfortunately in D there are no more concert tickets available. I love you, David.
david gray is awesome
he never disappoints
He seems to be often walking in his videos!
Juste magnifique...
Another winner! I havent heard a DG song I dont like. 31 March will be seeing him for 20th time. Always leaves me in goosebumps! World class singer songwriter xx
Ok what's with the baggy pants?
lovely x
Weeeeeeeee misssssseeed yooooooou David
I hunted this song down from a YouTube ad because it never gave any details at the end.
Whilst white ladder is a masterpiece this song is one of the worst songs of any genre I have ever heard.
Thank you God for blessing us with David Gray and his art.
As with all new (and previous) DG songs...crank it up and have a listen...again...and again...
Awesome video! Love the way the picture changes with a flick of your hands! Very creative! I love the song too. It's my motto.....to dance like no one is watching....something that my Dad (who is also a David) always said to me. My new favourite song 😁
Nice David I’m sure the 7 thumbs down are bitter or jealous 💚
Looking forward to The Brighton Dome gig. Always played White Ladder with my mum on the way to west Wales for camping holidays :)
Dave. Your freedom of expression is a beautiful thing my man
I love this! Great lyrics
Not a shade of any tracks from white ladder. A bit dull if I'm honest. Sorry Dave.
Liam Bennett - it’s a grower
@BiZkiTT 1 Sorry I've listened three times now. Dull. And I'm a big David Gray fan. Saw him at Earls court......many moons ago
Liam Bennett - What did you think of Mutineers then?
Mutineers in my mind, totally blows White Ladder out of the water.
My only concern is that David's new album won't be able to reach my own personal and dizzying heights, that Mutineers does.
Love this
Amazing David ...as always!!
Can’t wait till April
Can't wait to see him in Texas, will be our second time seeing him. Excellent, excellent performer live!
Such a shame this track is so dull. He started losing it after hospital food. Shadow of his former self. Sad to see. And I'm a massive David fan. This song is turd
Ignore that other moron - this is one of his best records. I caught him in Akron OH on this tour - did you enjoy the show in TX?
The old songs better mate
check out sapling!
David gray just turned 50!!!
And he dont look but 40!!!

...I agree, this is a great re-edit. No mere truncation for time, it's a newly structured track. I dig it!
@Lawrence Beasley thanks I found it on amazon...
It's hard to 'seize the day' Dave, when one is depressed and cannot see a future as I.
But at least your music, helps give me the strength to carry on. And I can't wait to see you in Cambridge next month. ❤
The song edited as a single is really, really cool. Loving the video too! Counting down the days for the album David, cannot wait.
When does the new Album come out??? :D
@Joseph Voll 8th March :)
soothingly as allways
Crazy Vid! Love it. Where we all walking to?
