The Drones - Shark Fin Blues video free download

Lyrics:

Standing on the deck watching my shadow stretch

The sun pours my shadow upon the deck

The waters licking round my ankles now

There ain't no sunshine way way down

I see the sharks out in the water like slicks of ink

Well, there's one there bigger than a submarine

As he circles I look in his eye

I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light

See the albatross up in the windy lofts

He gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off

I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind

Gets to whippin' my ears like a riding crop

The captain once as able as a fink dandy

He's now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink

He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think

Well, we're gonna be alone from here on in

Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind

But what were you expecting to find?

Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank

And I'm floating away on a barrel of pain

It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain

I sing na na nana nananana na

Na na nana nananana na

A harpoon's shaft is short and wide

A grappling hook's is cracked and dry

I said, why don't you get down in the sea

Turn the water red like you want to be?

Cause if I cry another tear I'll be turned to dust

No the sharks won't get me they don't feel loss

Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink

They're coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks

Fin by fin

Fin by fin

Fin by fin by fin by fin
