Warren Zevon - Battleship Chains Lyrics






Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long and a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

Can't use my lips to kiss nobody
Kiss nobody but you
I can't use my legs to chase nobody
Chase nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

Can't use my arms to hold nobody
Hold nobody but you
Can't use my legs to chase nobody
Chase nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

Can't use my arms to hold nobody
Hold nobody but you
Can't use my heart to love nobody
Love nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chain
Fifty foot long with a two-ton anchor

  1. i.... r....

    Easily the hardest REM has ever rocked.

  2. i.... r....

    Rocks like a mofo!

  3. s.... L....

    I must get this album

  4. H.... P....

    Zevon's voice belting out the blues -- I love it!

  5. y.... k....

    I love Warren Zevon's voice.
    and this song's lyrics is so cute.

  6. r.... s....

    Still pretty good on all punkish fronts!

  7. C.... T....

    growing magic mushrooms on the manure?

  8. C.... T....

    growing magic mushrooms on the bs

  9. J.... W....

    hard to believe that peter,mike, and Bill from rem are all with Warren on this album...

  10. b.... ....

    The Georgia Satellites version of this song is a far better rendition. Warren sounds flat and lacks emotion. Warren can sing much better than this.

    b.... ....

    What does your disagreement have to do with bull manure?

    b.... ....

    I bet you're a devil with the ladies.

    b.... ....

    i agree and most that dont havent or couldnt be bothered to listen to the gs version

    b.... ....

    nah, I beg to differ there! Just listened to the Georgia Satellites version and does not cut as deep as this version...this one rocks more. I think Zevon hits the notes fine though yeah the Satellites version tries to go for more of the melody, so I suppose that is where you may be coming from. I like this version better.

    b.... ....

    If you can find it, try listening to the original version by The Woods. VERY hard to find and rather haunting.

  11. G.... G....

    "The record took as long to make as it takes to listen to."

  12. w.... j....

    love this

  13. p.... ....
