Hole In The Ship
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well they said there was nothing to worry about
And they said there was no reason to shout
But I saw the bulkheads cracking
And for us there's no way out
When we started on our journey
No one ever could have foreseen
Our desolate and lonely ending
And a growing helpless feeling
But it doesn't take a genius to see
There's a hole in the ship
And there's nothing we can do
Our worst fears have now come true
A few of us are struggling desperately
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. humanity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late
All my cohorts think I'm crackers
They’re embroiled in other matters
And despite obvious warning
They won't heed my futile chatter
But there's something they ought to know
There's a hole in the ship
The end is oh so near
The others show no interest or fear
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late
Is it possible we have a social disease
That makes us close our eyes in dangerous times
But I'm joining in nicely
Or are we too aware and simply too scared
To accept destiny, our mortality
Our mortality, yeah!
There's a hole in the ship
And there's nothing we can do
Our worst fears have now come true
A few of us are struggling desperately
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. humanity
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
And nothing could patch the growing vacuity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late
It's time to bail, (It's time to bail) but I think it's too late
