作曲 : Bidini, Tielli | |
Dave Bidini and Martin Tielli | |
Some sailors never die. They rot at sea. | |
Hello, my friends. | |
My name is Onilley McNoan--to me. | |
I went to war on the Caroline. | |
Remember from that other song? | |
Well? | |
There the author got it wrong. | |
Survive did I--I did not drown. | |
I lived on Turtle Isle. | |
I jumped the Caroline | |
For she'd been had by Neptune. | |
Gadungder burped the sea; | |
Now coral grows inside her hull. | |
Me and Jim, my lifeboat friend-- | |
Strips of flesh torn from his limbs. | |
Well, Chicken Jimmy kept me alive. | |
(Though wasn't much for conversation.) | |
Life-boat this and life-boat that; | |
For days and days I fought the waves | |
And landed on an open beach of gold and blue. | |
I picked myself up off the sand. | |
I Hauled my body onto the land | |
And from the jungle there they stand... | |
They layered colors on my face and on my arms. | |
Hornbills squawked; I fed on fruit and wild boar. | |
I showed them guns and taught them how to sing Lang Syne, | |
And everyone was happy. | |
She was the queen with funny teeth. | |
She tried to hide them underneath | |
Her dainty hands and nervous lips. | |
Though I could not tell her so, | |
She was the one who kept me breathing. | |
While the wild volcanoes flared. | |
She told me I was sick with pride-- | |
All pumped up and sentimental. | |
The sky grew dark with ash, | |
And powder settled on the water. | |
Gadungder burped the sea | |
And funnels spiralled down to take her. | |
I climbed the highest tree | |
And from the sky I heard her call. | |
From this dream--as I awoke-- | |
I could have sworn that Jimmy spoke, | |
But it was probably just the boat. | |
Some sailors never die. | |
I woke up under an ocean sky | |
With a pile of bones laying at my side. |
