In The Navy
In the Navy
i.m. Stuart Addison, Stephen Bebbington, Jake Casey, Brett Dwyer, Ewen McDonald
I’m hung by my feet over the stern;
the propellor’s a sort of halo,
my heels Morse hell’s unfeelingness,
the boatswains’ eyes are clogged with ice.
The propellor’s a sort of halo
I must serve, must serve, must serve.
The boatswain’s eyes are clogged with ice
when I’m felled while mopping the deck.
I must serve, must serve, must serve,
water and food withheld.
When I’m felled while mopping the deck
my ungloved hands purple.
Water and food withheld,
my tongue swells and dries, vessels burst.
My ungloved hands purple
while hallucinating Jack Ketch,
my tongue swells and dries, vessels burst.
I’m hung by my feet over the stern;
while hallucinating Jack Ketch
my heels Morse hell’s unfeelingness.
