Drunken Boat - The Pogues[00:00:05]
The wind was whipping shingle through the windows in the town[00:00:57]
A hail of stones across the roof the slates came raining down[00:01:02]
A blade of light upon the spit came sweeping through the roar[00:01:07]
With me head inise a barrel and me leg screwed in the floor[00:01:12]
Mother pack me bags because I'm off to foreign parts[00:01:18]
Don't ask me where I'm going 'cause I'm sure it's off the charts[00:01:23]
I'll pin your likeness on the wall right buy my sleeping head[00:01:29]
I'll send you cards and letters so you'll know that I'm not dead[00:01:34]
By this time in a week I should be far away from home[00:01:40]
Trailing fingers through the phospor or asleep in flowers of foam[00:01:45]
From Macao to Acapulco from Havana to Seville[00:01:50]
We'll see monoliths and bridges and the Christ up on the hill[00:01:56]
An aria with the Russians at the piano in the bar[00:02:01]
With icefloes through the window we raised glasses to the Czar[00:02:07]
We squared off on a dockside with a coupled hundred Finns[00:02:12]
And we dallied in the 'dilly and we stoaked ourselves in gin[00:02:17]
Now the only deck I'd want to walk[00:02:23]
Are the stalks of corn beneath my feet[00:02:28]
And the only sea I want to sail[00:02:34]
Is the darkned pond in the scented dusk[00:02:39]
Where a kid crouced full of sadness[00:02:42]
Lets his boat go drifting out[00:02:45]
Into the evening sun[00:02:47]
We sailed through constellations and were rutted by the storm[00:03:09]
I crumpled under cudgel blows and finally came ashore[00:03:14]
I spent the next two years or more just staring at the wall[00:03:19]
We went to sea to see the world and what d'you think we saw [00:03:25]
If we turned the table upside down and sailed around the bed[00:03:30]
Clamped knives between our teeth and tied bandannas round our heads[00:03:36]
With the wainscot our horizon and the ceiling as the sky[00:03:41]
You'd not expect that anyone would go and f**king die[00:03:47]
Now the only deck I'd want to walk[00:03:52]
Are the stalks of corn beneath my feet[00:03:57]
And the only sea I want to sail[00:04:03]
Is the darkned pond in the scented dusk[00:04:09]
Where a kid crouced full of sadness[00:04:11]
Lets his boat go drifting out[00:04:14]
Into the evening sun[00:04:16]
At nights we passed the bottle round and drank to our lost friends[00:04:24]
We lay alone upon our bunks and prayed that this would end[00:04:29]
A wall of moving shadows with rows of swinging keys[00:04:35]
We dreamed that whole Leviathans lay rotting in the weeds[00:04:40]
There's a sound that comes from miles away if you lean your head to hear[00:04:46]
A ship's bell rings on board a wreck where the air is still and clear[00:04:51]
And up in heaven that means another angel's got his wings[00:04:57]
But all below it signifies is a ship's gone in the drink[00:05:02]
Now the only deck I'd want to walk[00:05:07]
Are the stalks of corn beneath my feet[00:05:13]
And the only sea I want to sail[00:05:18]
Is the darkned pond in the scented dusk[00:05:24]
Where a kid crouced full of sadness[00:05:27]
Lets his boat go drifting out[00:05:30]
Into the evening sun[00:05:32]
