THE TRAGICALLY HIP |
[00:08.19] |
Nautical Disaster |
[00:13.27] |
|
[00:17.57] |
I had this dream where I relished the fray |
[00:24.02] |
And the screaming filled my head all day |
[00:34.92] |
It was as though I'd been spit here |
[00:39.51] |
Settled in, into the pocket |
[00:43.85] |
Of a lighthouse on some rocky socket |
[00:51.01] |
Off the coast of France, dear |
[00:55.42] |
|
[00:56.81] |
One afternoon four thousand men died in the water here |
[01:05.22] |
And five hundred more were thrashing madly |
[01:11.40] |
As parasites might in your blood |
[01:25.49] |
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only |
[01:31.70] |
Anything that systematic would get you hated |
[01:37.80] |
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated |
[01:49.80] |
The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order |
[01:56.10] |
And those left in the water |
[02:00.19] |
Got kicked off our pant leg |
[02:05.56] |
And we headed for home |
[02:10.87] |
|
[02:16.11] |
|
[02:18.97] |
|
[02:22.43] |
Then the dream ends when the phone rings |
[02:26.40] |
"You doing all right?" |
[02:28.52] |
He said, "It's out there most days and nights |
[02:32.54] |
But only a fool would complain" |
[02:38.59] |
Anyway, Susan, if you like |
[02:44.45] |
Our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory |
[02:54.04] |
As those fingernails scratching on my hull |
[03:03.89] |
|
[03:09.47] |
|
[03:13.51] |
