Steve Kilbey - Untitled Too lyrics

The day we left for January The maelstroms lashed outside/our side [0:45] Tore us away from the gla** world obeyed/of faith [0:50] Where the impulse engines died We scrambled up the crow's nest Could not believe our luck Our terrified cries vibrated through the sky Lightning and thunder struck Down and down and down Drowning in yourself Down and down and down The sargeant was a drunkard The wing commander bent We crashed one night on the other side Just past the Duke of Kent Pa**engers were a lethal lot Hanging the loud in the nets They dreamed and screamed as we picked up steam In the mouth of the rivulet The mutineers were scabby darks [2:50] Howling for our blood Behind her whip [2:56] up and down the ship We hurled into the flood The enemy??? [3:05] Lays here like a saw We shudder in her wake like a damaged snake We didn't get too far The sea was a vast mosaic Fallen to disrepair The sky was aglow like the chaos below As the first shots filled the air The charge swept off our captain's leg So they put him in a barrel of graphite Commanding from the fray as his blood ran away His soul fled to the light
