Four strong winds that blow Sherbrooke Seventeen Seventy-Eight runs high How I wish all those things come what me But our letter of marque has come And I'm bound for movin' on I'll look for the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen
O the year was Seventeen Seventy-Eight
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
A letter of marque came from the king
To
God damn them all I was told we’d cruise the seas for American gold We’d fire no guns, shed no tears Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett’s Privateers
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
Don't know why
There's a gun up in the sky
Heavy weather
Since my government ain't together
Keeps raining bullets all the time

The lunatic I said you'd call The lunatic I said you'd call Remembering rings and Doctor Robert's laugh Got to be there any time at all
The lunatic will pick you up The lunatic will pick you up The paper hold he's folded everything he can Got to keep the loony's special cup
And if the dam breaks open for the National Health You shout and no one can succeed And if you must believe in everyone in need I'll see you pay the dark side of yourself
The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day, the paperboy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Ring, my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert Day or night he'll be there any time at all Doctor Robert Doctor Robert You're a new and better man He helps you to understand He does everything he can Doctor Robert If you're down he'll pick you up Doctor Robert Take a drink from his special cup Doctor Robert Doctor Robert He's a man you must believe Helping anyone in need No one can succeed like Doctor Robert Well, well, well, you're feeling fine Well, well, well, he'll make you Doctor Robert My friend works for the National Health Doctor Robert Don't pay money just to see yourself Doctor Robert Doctor Robert
