What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sinner on the mainland
2
He's a sinner on the sea
3
He looks for absolution
4
Not accountability
5
How many destinations
6
Oh God he's seen them all
7
He collects his precious pittance
8
Never a port of call
9
Remittance Man
10
Black sheep of the family clan
11
Broke too many rules along the way
12
Remittance Man
13
So far away from home
14
No they'll never understand
15
The Remittance Man
16
A man of empty pockets
17
From jingling his change
18
The idleness and grieving
19
For all that he retains
20
By the harbour lights of Sydney
21
Or the Bora Bora moon
22
He recites his sad confession
23
To the seagulls and the loons
24
Remittance Man
25
Black sheep of the family clan
26
Broke too many rules along the way
27
Remittance Man
28
So far away from home
29
No they'll never understand

The Remittance Man
31
Well you can claim that you were born a prince
32
But you're the only one you can convince
33
Survivor with no livelihood
34
That you could ever make it good
35
But still you dream of what you can pretend
36
An unexpected passenger
37
Boarded in Marseilles
38
An angel full of tenderness
39
She gave her heart away
40
She was but a gypsy
41
He was just a stray
42
They almost made a miracle but it slowly slipped away
43
So he follows the equator
44
With a wish to run aground
45
It's a very vicious circle
46
Goin' round and round and round
47
And he watches from the fantail
48
As the mainland disappears
49
Just like the Flying Dutchman
50
He's a prisoner of his fears
51
Remittance Man
52
Black sheep of the family clan
53
Broke too many rules along the way
54
Remittance Man
55
So far away from home
56
No they'll never understand
57
No they'll never understand
58
No they'll never understand
59
