lyrics

We stay afloat in our wooden boats
Pushing towards the edge of the world again world again
Raining tides and ships mast brides
The days of Barbados left far behind far behind
And it takes a man more then steam
The tides are turning the kings fowl deeds
The days at hand on shipwrecked sand
The moors and cutthroats beyond command

So we dancing in the moonlight bonfire midnight
Laughing to the sounds of the beast at play
One turn two turn Three turn lock!
Stick him in the irons til the break of day
Farrow out for hindsight jack knife blind side
Barnacles and bastards and birds for prey
Killywags and coddlewogs and drink another bantan
Lift him of his metal til the old boys paid
dancing in the moonlight bonfire midnight
Laughing to the sounds of the beast at play
One turn two turn Three turn lock!
Stick him in the irons til the break of day

A torrent breeze in dead man seas
And ten more tins of ale then tics and fleas
In the parching sun the riff raff gone
The chums left to trail behind the ivory rum
Carcasses and cannibals is all we’ve yet to find
A burned out hut and a broken mast and a rather unsettlin’ sky
