   Sinner on the mainland
  He's a sinner on the sea
  He looks for absolution
  Not accountability
  
  How many destinations
  Oh God he's seen them all
  He collects his precious pittance
  In every port of call
  
  Chorus
  Remittance man
  Black sheep of the family clan
  Broke too many rules along the way
  Remittance man
  So far away from home
  No they'll never understand the remittance man
  
  Verse
  A man of empty pockets
  From jingling his change
  The idleness and grieving
  Are all that he retains
  By the harbor lights of Sydney
  Or the Bora Bora moon
  He recites his sad confession
  To the seagulls and the loons
  
  Chorus
  Remittance man
  Black sheep of the family clan
  Broke too many rules along the way
  Remittance man
  So far away from home
  No they'll never understand the remittance man
  
  Bridge
  You could claim that you were born a prince
  But you're the only one you cna convince
  Survivor with no livelihood, that you could ever make it good
  But still you dream of what you can't pretend
  
  Verse
  An unexpected passenger
  Boarded in Marseilles
  An angel full of tenderness
  She gave her heart away
  
  She was but a gypsy
  He was just a stray
  They almost made a miracle
  But it slowly slipped away
  
  So he follows the equator
  With a wish to run aground
  It's a very vicious circle
  Going round and round and round
  
  Now he watches from the fantail
  As the mainland disappears
  Just like the Flying Dutchman
  He's a prisoner of his fears
  
  Chorus
  Remittance man
  Black sheep of the family clan
  Broke too many rules along the way
  Remittance man
  So far away from home
  No they'll never understand (x3)
