Текст Dan Bull – Sunless Sea
Текст:
Oh! Oh! Oh the Londoners come to see the unterzee.
They flock to the docks and watch the boxes and stocks
That are dropped from atop off the
Steamers and frigates and dreadnaughts and cutters and cruisers and corvettes and yachts.
Each and every of ’em a story has got.
Here’s ours:
T’was dark when we parted the port
And started our voyage to far, distant shores.
This tiny tub’s not the fastest for sure
But I’d rather have her than no transport at all
From humble beginnings I come for your winnings
There’s always a calm before there’s a storm
So batten the hatches and pull down your patches
We’re passing through Gaider’s Mourn ’till we find the dawn
Smell the sea breeze, a cold chill, Neptune’s deep freeze
Now I’m not sure of the maritime law down here
So we’ll do as we please
We sail the sea (We sail the sea)
The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea
We sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The sunless sea)
We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea
Tides are lapping on the side, rising damp.
Eyes widen with fright, light the lamp.
No mind how cramped, we will ride ’till we find any island in sight
Now camp.
Is that a lighthouse lamp or a giant crab?
Is it a shark, or can we disembark?
Oh. Rats. Better sink the barge,
Here’s ours:

Although I’m not a whale I am deffo living large.
You’re a landlubber I was born in sand blubber’s in my blood
But I look damn good when I scrub up any port in a storm, tear the pub up
Three months at sea means there’s gonna be some hubbub
We sail the sea (We sail the sea)
The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea
We sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The sunless sea)
We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea
When we’ve each had our fill of the menu
We head out the venue
Prepared to continue.
Turning that lard into muscle and sinew
Discover just how much swashbuckle is in you
When you’re smuggling human souls
Whose tombs are cold
You lose control.
You’re ravenous too, the food is mouldy, too damn salty.
The deep hue of this blue’s unholy
Fool I told ye
Skippers who consume their crews are lonely.
And fuel is low, we’ve used the coal, so I’m cruising home
We sail the sea (We sail the sea)
The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea
We sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The sunless sea)
We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea
