The Captain's Wife
03:35
|

These are my thoughts
As I gaze into the fish tank
Cos with a knife at my back
They made me walk the plank
And the Capn's none too pleased
Man he's looking pretty mean
And there ain't much time before
I'm in the drink
Well this
This was my choice of career
To conquer the world and be
A buccaneer
With my hands steeped in treasure
Aw my heart would fill with pleasure
But now it's aching more
More than you think
See I couldn't tell
Heaven from hell
When she put me under her spell
Well just my luck
The lightning struck
And the whole ship was ablaze
Now if you don't seize your chance
Then nothing happens
And your indifference denies
Your manumission
The night I kissed the captain's wife
It took years off of my life
We drank some grog
And then we snogged
And it made me feel all right
See I couldn't tell
Heaven from hell
When she put me under her spell
Well just my luck
The lightning struck
And my heart was set ablaze
And now I'm out at sea
I'm all out at sea
All out at sea
Yeah I'm out at sea
I'm all out at sea
All out at sea
I'm out at sea
I'm all out at sea

Ghost Train
03:12
|

All aboard the ghost train
I feel an ill wind blowing
Can't make out what you're trying to say
But I can see where all this is going
See the crow he feels hard done
By the fox that's eating the cheese
Says before the setting sun
Mr Fox be on his knees
Maybe you shouldn't read into nothing
When you know well it doesn't exist
Insecurity's the demon
Checking in on the narcissist
See the signals all along the line
Those that you failed to recognise
The future that you had in mind
Rivers of tears it never stops at paradise
There she goes again
Your left riding on a ghost train
That just goes round and round
And makes no sound
All aboard the ghost train
It's time I hear you calling
We're all about to go insane
I tell you once this train gets going
You never really listen
You're just too busy, busy being you
Always have a valid reason
For all the foolish things that you do
Ghost past another station
I guess this train ain't stopping for no one
Much to your chagrin
The journey's over before it's begun
See the signals all along the line
Those that you failed to recognise
The future that you had in mind
Rivers of tears, it never stops at paradise
There she goes again
Your left riding on a ghost train
That just goes round and round
And makes no sound
That just goes round and round
And makes no sound
That just goes round and round
And makes no sound
Ghost Train

Drunken Generals
04:15
|
|||
Arise the sergeant shook me
He said son
Take this coin
And leave your life behind
And as we marched
The rhythm of the drums
And all the rum we need
To numb their hearts and minds
And so I'm off to fight a war
I toss their coin to see
If I come out alive
I see your eyes are pleading
Begging me what for
They said just do your duty
And don't reason why
Crystal ball lights
Float around the room
Entwine our lives
For just another day
At their tables
Generals toast impending doom
Whilst at abandon
We dance the night away
And we still had so much left to say
As I held you so close
I could feel your heart
But you know full well
They have to have their day
Watch the drunken generals
Tear our worlds apart
The captain's orders
came in to attack
We're in the first wave
at the break of day
Now I know
I won't be coming back
I remember
How we danced the night away
And we still had so much left to give
But your drunken generals
Took it all away
Now a star shines bright
For this short life I lived
And marks the sweet time
When we danced the night away

Don't Grow Up
02:54
|

The evening sun
Bleeds in my kitchen
My head is blue
But everything is pink
It's said and done
So stop your bitching
Clear them bottles
Throw the dishes in the sink
I don't know why
Bound by their rules
I bet my life
You live the rest of your in fear
A buried child
Leaves but a fool
They'll push him under
'Til he finally disappears
There's some that say
Time changes nothing
Oh but nothing stays the same
And then someday
When you're forgotten
Only nothing will remain
Now you've become
My Saint Sebastian
Through the hard times
You and I would agree
They draw their bow
In your direction
Cos that's the only way they know
To set you free
There's some that say
Time changes nothing
Oh but nothing stays the same
And then someday
When you're forgotten
Only nothing will remain
So tonight
For you I grieve
For so long
You were a part of me
Don't know why
You have to leave
Cos without you
There's just nothing left to see
Without you
There's just nothing left to see

The Piseógs are (clearly) a non-conformist ska band. Their sound tips its cap to Jamaican ska and rocksteady, adding some other flavours in the mix.
