This song can really be said to be about Weezer’s struggle to find a sound that they can be happy with and proud of. The success of this album (reaching No. 4 on the Billboard 200) goes to show that the wind really is in the sail for Weezer right now.
What’s also pretty nice about the lyrics in thi...
[Verse 1]
A boy and a girl
Albatross around their necks
Hands burning from the rope
Ship stranded in the tropics
Acidification wiped out the tiger shark
Let's try to save their souls
And trust the man with the Torah
[Chorus]
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
[Verse 2]
Breathe in the salt
Slicing waves at 40 knots
Cumulonimbus in the sky
This is what we've waited for
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
We're gonna save the last auk on Funk Island
We had to do it wrong before we could do it right
[Chorus]
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
[Bridge]
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back down
Whoa, Sisyphus, it rolls back down
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back down
Whoa, Sisyphus, it rolls back down
[Chorus]
We got the wind in our sail
Like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail
And we can do so many great things together, together
[Outro]
(We got the wind in our sail)
(We got the wind in our sail)
