"I don't leak much cause I'm a Hollow Man."

hmm..really?

Hollow Man (Miller)
I sailed my boat into Mobile Harbor stopped by the marina to have a beer
There at a table full of empty glasses sat a man in a wrinkled suit with a three mile stare
He lit up a cigarette and waved me over; he asked me if the boat I was sailing was mine
He said he was looking for a charter and all he needed was a minute of my time
(He said) I wanna take your boat as far as it goes, feel Jamaican sand between my toes
I wanna ride on the wind just as far as I can
I won't be any trouble to haul- I can sleep anywhere at all
And I don't eat very much for a hollow man
Said he'd ran a business in Oklahoma, he came home to find his wife all packed
She took him for everything- his cars and his home; she even took the confidence he lacked
He decided to head down to the ocean because it was something he'd never seen
Somthing inside him hoped the salt air and the sun could wash away the life that might have been
(He said) I wanna take your boat as far as it goes, feel Jamaican sand between my toes
I wanna ride on the wind just as far as I can
I won't be any trouble to haul- I can sleep anywhere at all
And I don't eat very much for a hollow man
He gave me three hundred dollars and he said he'd bring the rest when he met me there on Tuesday at five
I don't know what became of him because he never showed but I still can't get his words out of my mind
(He said) I wanna take your boat as far as it goes, feel Jamaican sand between my toes
I wanna ride on the wind just as far as I can
I won't be any trouble to haul- I can sleep anywhere at all
And I don't eat very much for a hollow man

And btw, captainalex, you seem to have excellent taste in music!

Oops! Sorry, Al. Didn't mean to repost the lyrics. I was just slow...

Therrrrrrrrrrrrrre's a bathroom on the right.

S'cuse me, while I kiss this guy

Any more?

At first I thought it was a question about The Cult's Hollow Man but I was wrong.

Boat Drunks it certainly is! Great choice!

Thanks for all the help!

And sorry about the misheard lyric.

This Ain't Duval Street and A Pirate on the Caribbean are two other good songs by them that you'll hear on Radio Margaritaville.

I am going to order the cd this week and in the meantime I'm going to beg Radio Margaritaville to play it soon. It's stuck in my head. I must hear it again (over and over)

Boat Drunks are on iTunes also. I got Hollow Man there a couple of months ago.

Boat Drunks are from the central Illinois area. We love to go see them play. Both of their cd's are a good choice for your collection of music.
Look forward to June 9th, Cefcu stage, Peoria Il. It will be a good primer to Tinley Park on July 21st.

I heard Hollow Man for the first time on the Thongs in the Key of Life vol. 3.

I also like their song Callin' in Gone.

"I don't leak much cause I'm a Hollow Man."

OMG!!!! I read this and was hysterical!!!!!!!!
and yes, Boat Drunks are definitely good! They are coming to St. Louis on the 28th and I'M GONNA BE THERE!!!

If you want the version of Hollow Man and Pirate on the Caribbean that you are currently hearing on RM, go to www.hottomatorecords.com and order The Boat Drunks newest album, Wahine Man.

I like the original version of "Hollow Man" best but they're both great.
My fave Boat Drunk song is their cover of "Corona Alone Again"
