Trivia

"GUTTER BLACK" by "HELLO SAILOR" (Theme song)

Lying in the gutter,
I cut the cord from my mother,
She pat me on the head and say
"Go to sea boy, get to sea man!".

Barbara O'Reilly, she comin' to my house,
Trouble, trouble, trouble.
"Go to sea boy, get to sea man!"

MY LUCK IN THE GUTTER BLACK,
I GUESS I'M RUNNIN' BACK...TO YOU,
YOU IN MY BRAIN, YOU IN MY HEART.
YOU IN MY BRAIN, YOU IN MY HEART.

Long wind jammers,
Sailing on the oceans.
The cold breeze blowing yeah
"Go to sea man, son don't come back!

MY LUCK IN THE GUTTER BLACK
I GUESS I'M RUNNIN' BACK...TO YOU,
YOU IN MY BRAIN, YOU IN MY HEART.
YOU IN MY BRAIN, YOU IN MY HEART.
