McCartney wrote this song about an incident when he was recording his album London Town. He was recording on a rented luxury yacht in the Virgin Islands and the captain of the boat expressed discomfort over the band’s use of marijuana.
[Verse 1]
Light out Wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
[Verse 2]
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
[Refrain]
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Chorus]
Light out Wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out Wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Bridge]
Oh, where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - Wanderlust away
[Chorus]
Light out Wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out Wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Refrain]
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Verse 1/Bridge Counter Melody]
Light out wanderlust
(Oh where did I go wrong, my love?)
Head us out to sea
(What petty crime was I found guilty of?)
Captain says there'll be a bust
(What better time to find a brand new day?)
This one's not for me
(Oh - wanderlust away)
[Outro]
Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me
