On a Sunny Day
On a sunny day, you can see forever
The U-boat that cast anchor on the silky shore of Albufeira,
the crew was dressed in German world war two uniforms,

A kind barman gave the captain a cold beer, he drank it
greedily and asked what year it was. 2017, my god,
he exclaimed we have landed in a wrong century.
He walked back to his U-boat a neat man and a hero,
the submarine, rusty, like it had been at the bottom of
the sea for ages, hoisted anchor, and sailed into yonder
