Idiot Ship from Spiderfightcatwaterhate by Burn in Hell

words & music Gary Hallenan


Slicing his sword onto the timber of the mast
The captain of the ship barks the order to the crew ‘Get back on the fucking deck!’
‘Or with this sword I’ll carve a skull into your faces!’
The open seas have seized our minds Now the Jolly Roger flies up....side....down

Down below the deck there’s a mutiny brewin’
Down amongst the sores and the scurvy and the spewin’ The surgeon has taken to drinking ink
I tell ya it’s enough to make yer tattoos go and run
The emaciated ghosts that form this crew
Are fucked in the head cos there’s nothing they can do
Their waterlogged brains have gone insane
Like sea soaked brains gone fishin’ down the deep for DEATH!

There’s only death as far as you can see
When ya lost to the waves with the Devil at ya hind
And Davey Jones locker is the only thing you’ll find
On a one way journey to the basement of the deep blue sea

What do we do with a drunken sailor
Who’s drunken of the seawater that took away his breath? What do we do with a drunken sailor
Who’s sunken in the seawater that swallowed him in death?
