Pirate Ships - The Cure
Pirate ships, pirate ships, child
Merry and bold, Sparkling and rich, child
Coming to dock, Right at your feet
Tonight, Coming to dock tonight
Lyrics

"I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate."

Yellow - Coldplay
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Lyrics

"Will you be saving her then?"

Out of Exile - Audioslave
But the hours grew so empty
and the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
and she pulled me out to sea
Lyrics

"But you were marooned on this island before, weren't you?"

Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Lyrics

"Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to - ?"

Come Sail Away - Styx (Side note: Jack would be the one to get picked up by aliens, wouldn't he?)
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh lord, I'll try to carry on
Lyrics

"Don't be alarmed, we're taking over the ship."

Growing On Me - The Darkness
I'm being punished for all my offences
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame
Lyrics

""It must have been terrible for you, Jack. Must have been terrible." Well, it bloody is now!"

Loving Arms - Dobie Gray
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again
Lyrics

"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate."

She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
Lyrics

"She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised."

Sailing - Christopher Cross
Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Lyrics

"Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom."

Harbor - Vienna Teng
You've got a journey to make
There's your horizon to chase
So go far beyond where we stand
No matter the distance
I'm holding your hand
Lyrics

"Now... bring me that horizon."

Brave New Wold - Richard Ashcroft
Baby when my ship pulls in
I try to believe in anyone
Look at the state I'm in.
Lryrics

"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that."

Swallowed In The Sea - Coldplay
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Lyrics

"Pirate or not this man saved my life."

Sand and Water - Beth Nielsen Chapman
All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water and a million years gone by
Lyrics

"Elizabeth... it would never have worked between us, darling. I'm sorry."

*A Pirate's Life For Me [bonus track]

"When I get the Pearl back, I'm gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we'll sing it all the time!"

When I first sat down and decided to make a J/E mix, I wasn't sure where to start.

Yes, there had to be ships and the sea, and really, no mix is complete without at least one Bowie song; but even with those things in mind, it was slow going. "Uptown Girl" was track three for the longest time, in all of its eighties Billy Joel glory. Then, I swapped it for "I Would Walk 500 Miles." They both worked well (scarily well), but it wasn't the easy, "smooth" soundtrack I wanted to compile. Then, in a fit of madness (or brilliance, if Jack is any indication), this was born.

Enjoy.

Please contact me if you download, it's always a pleasure to see who's enjoying this. If you have any suggestions of what songs could go on another soundtrack, feel free to share.

14 songs and I tested them. They'll all fit on a regular 700 MB/80 min CD-R.
