[Verse 1: Dave Hemingway]
Little seas can be big seas to the wrong or long of sights
But the Mediterranean looks like aspirin tonight
The doctor told me the chemist he had nothing for my plight
But the Mediterranean looks like aspirin tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Hemingway]
This ocean puts in motion all our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kon-Tiki when it's always been left in port

[Chorus: Hemingway, Paul Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher, but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah)
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight

[Verse 2]
Little voyage can be big voyage if you sail in the middle of night
But the Mediterranean needs the compass tonight
It gives cheap thrills to the seagulls and life to life's little kites
But the Mediterranean is my aspirin tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Hemingway]
This ocean puts in motion all our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kon-Tiki when it's always been left in port
[Chorus: Hemingway, Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher, but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah)
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight

[Chorus: Hemingway, Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
I'd rather be cemented in deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher, but my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Is the reliable Mediterranean (Ah, ah)
Is my chosen, my chosen drug tonight
