country teasers - the ship كلمات الأغنية
[intro]
you say, “be still, be still,” (be still) to your booming inner voice
lest your brain should fill the bursting point with noise
and you won’t be able to hear the innocent screams of the boys
picked up by the sharks as they [?] hopelessly to boys
[verse 1]
you crashed, you crashed the ship into another ship
fire crew in petrol, mingle in the drink
a vision such as this makes a fellow think
a wretched drowning crew, so young and weak
you set sail, set sail in eighteen-ninety-two
repressed gang fifty open boys to make your married crew
it’s eighteen-ninety-four, you’re not sailing anymore
watching all those drowning boys, you wonder what to do next
[verse 2]
in a dream, in a dream, a vision came to you
fifty virgins drinking milk with nothing else to do
but i land on an island beach waiting out to sea
the smoke is rising from the ship but the rest is hard to see
i’m a jolly cup o’ tea with nothing much to do
i’ve eaten all the pickled ham, i’ve eaten all the stew
i’ve smoked the hash, i’ve drunk the wine, i’ve boiled the voyage crew
i’m lying in my cannon guard writing this to you
[verse 3]
one boy makes it back to ship, his name is jimmy black
we’ll cut a slice along his chest and make the boy swim back
get along there, jimmy black, you’re in need of some of your stuff
your shipmates will be missing you, this kind of thing is tough
on all of us
[bridge]
here comes a lonely seagull, there goes an idle whale
sharks attack, the whales slack and decimate the tail
[verse 4]
five days, five days later, a scooter picks me up
two weeks after that i’m king of a backward-island state
i impregnate my fifty wives and take a little nap
reflecting on how things have turned out great again
