[Intro]
C[VGerse 1]
CLet me out, GI can't breathe
Gotta get out of this Cconcrete hole
CI'm wrecked and GI'm decked
I've gotta break free before I Close control
[Chorus]
So Ccast the lines Gaway
From the dock at the harbour Ambay
All those cares and worries and Gwoes
You can save them for another Fday
Because we're CsaiGling, GsaiCling

[Verse 2]
CGive me space, GI'm on fire
Banging my head against a Chard brick wall
CAnd I'm gone, Gso long
You can leave a message but I'll Cnever call
[Chorus]
CCast the lines Gaway
From the dock at the harbour Ambay
It's a Cfine bright Gday
And the wind is blowing Faway
Lets go CsaiGling, GsaiCling
