Æther Shanties |
My arms aching, back’s breaking, legs aching neck |
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck |
Flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides |
My arms aching, back’s breaking, legs aching neck |
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck |
Flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides |
Though the wind’s steady strong with no clouds in the skies |
The ropes creaking, ship’s leaking, sails are on fire |
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre |
We’ve got smiles on our faces, but we’ve seen this before |
No telling just now what we have in store |
The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors |
Running low on the rum and depleting our stores |
Can’t tell who’s on our side and who’s ready to flip |
When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship |
With the moods flaring, crew’s glaring, cut-throats the lot |
With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot |
We’ve worked hard on this journey, but there’s no land in sight |
And before it’s all ended there could be a fight |
My arms aching, back’s breaking, legs aching neck |
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck |
Flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides |
Though the wind’s steady strong with no clouds in the skies |
The ropes creaking, ship’s leaking, sails are on fire |
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre |
We’ve got smiles on our faces, but we’ve seen this before |
No telling just now what we have in store |
