lyrics

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

about

The Piseógs LM, Ireland

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.

A Nice little Ska sampler . a lot of great tracks, the best being The Scotch Bonnets - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker! Avoid the Sham 69 cover - just as bad as the original. Erasmus Windage
