Queens Of The Stone Age - I Sat By The Ocean Lyrics






I sat by the ocean and drank a potion, baby to erase you
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you
There ain't no use in crying It doesn't change anything
So baby what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize
Maybe, I don't need them too

Imagine I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one

You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We're passing ships in the night

There's nowhere to run away
Said
"Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new"
"Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you?"
Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

Imagine I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one

You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We're passing ships in the night

You, me and a lie
Silence is closer
We're passing ships in the night

Into the night
Left with nowhere to hide

Closer and closer
We're crashing ships in the night

  1. R.... B....

    When you try to sing this song yourself & hit those notes, that's when you realise just how great Josh Homme is.

  2. N.... C....

    Honestly I prefer the acoustic version of I sat by the ocean.

  3. J.... W....

    Josh Hommes has been a rock god for 20 25 years. Look up Kayos.

  4. B.... ....

    Just an Incredible cover, seems effortless for these guys to perform at this level.

    B.... ....

    Brandon it’s no cover

    B.... ....

    @Alvaro Durand I realise. I was drunk and didn't read the title.

  5. I.... ....

    His voice keeps getting more beautiful

  6. L.... M....

    Masterpiece

  7. B.... L....

    I almost like this better than the original

  8. J.... P....

    Have you noticed how time does not exist when Josh plays

  9. j.... ....

    Homme's voice is like velvet lightly brushing on my ears.

  10. J.... o....

    He`s got a great voice.

  11. A.... P....

    Perfection

  14. P.... M....

    That poor guys rockin out with an apple

  15. D.... A....

    Love how he interrupts. "thanks a lot Troy!" then ignores him when he replies "well there we go then!"

  16. E.... ....

    Jeez, he actually knows how to sing! I mean, he's always drunk/high when they play live.

  17. S.... G....

    No bad for yanks

  18. D.... A....

    Why does dave keep showing up? Oh maybe hes good? Naw hes fantastic!

  19. m.... ....

    thats the best G-String in the world.

    m.... ....

    yep the world.

    m.... ....

    For me......this recording is with me for life. If youtube dies... I'm throwing out all my G strings into the ocean to deliberatley pollute. Go fuck yourself.

    m.... ....

    so people might of picked faults with this song. nup. One for the ages, poetic amazing musicianship. My top 5, always known. Congrats to production staff, fucking thanks for making me feel a touch of what of how good that day was.

    m.... ....

    so perfect for me, thanks artists.

  20. L.... L....

    J'apprécie énormément ! C'est vraiment un bon groupe !

  21. E.... L....

    I love how at the beginning they're like "Meh, let's do Ocean, somebody will probably screw up but whatever", and then they do a performance with almost 4 million views that I listened on repeat for 3 consecutive days when I first discovered it and still get goosebumps on absolutely every part of it

  22. a.... ....

    Does anyone know if Josh is using an octave pedal here?

  23. L.... B....

    Ein wirklich geiles Stück Musik. Irgendwie das Gegenteil zu deutschem Weichei-, Wein- und Kastraten-Pop.

  24. X.... P....

    Love this song 😘

  25. P.... H....

    man! this song, this guys. Wish I could be there!

  40. Y.... a....

    mutcho bão

  41. s.... ....

    I think this is my 10th time watching this

  42. h.... ....

    One of those rare moments when a band casually busts out an acoustic version that's better than the original just to show off their chops.

    h.... ....

    yes they are very talented :)

  43. D.... N....

    You can see how Josh runs the show. Sux he runs off all his musicians by doing so. Still great band and great song.

  44. K.... ....

    The Subway must be dieded!

  45. R.... W....

    I fucking love this song!!!!

    Everyone should check out “Them Crooked Vultures” it’s a collab of the lead singer of Queens of the Stone Age, lead guitarist of Led Zeppelin, and David grohl. A lot of similarities between them and queens but a little bit darker I would say. Album is on Spotify

  75. T.... N....

    this band has been so solid for so many years. god amnit josh's voice leaves a man in envy of his talent.

  76. C.... C....

    This is one of the best QOTSA songs ever written.

  77. C.... T....

    Who needs a soul when you can sing, am I right?

  78. h.... c....

    I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE TEMPERATURE IN THIS PLACE. I fecking love this song but the abysmal difference between their clothes ALWAYS takes my attention. A+ for the song but C- for coherence.

  87. J.... V....

    Soooo good. Who wouldn't love this? Great music. Josh has music in his soul. And a great head of hair. I'm going bald.

    J.... V....

    How can the audience just sit there and then lightly cheer?! their faces should be melting off! 😭
