Paroles
Two years spent before the mast
And no one knows the secrets that we’re hiding
If word got loose, you’d face the lash
And thirteen loops would hold me fast and silent
Things are not always as they seem to be Outside us The Devil got poor Persephone
But they can’t take
They can’t take you from me They can’t take you from me Can’t take you from me Can’t take you from me Mr. Jones done made a mistake, it’s all business
These’s worse things than the watery grave with Poricthys.
I found her behind a barrel of grain in the hold, listless
A hollow, half hatter, dismayed, frayed princess.
But I guess I’ve gone soft in my age, they call it instinct
The rebels get the devil to pay or cat kissing the gunner’s daughter.
I know I oughta send her to the brig
But even strong knots give in still water and calm winds.
And all things aren’t what they seem to be in
That Small wall separating Earth from Eden
One rib did give Eve her meaning
But one snip might could keep a secret
With her short hair there and a change of clothing
Fit right in and work soaking oakum
And in four fortnights she’ll unload with the opium,
And she just might slip by buffer and bosun.
Two years spent before the mast
And no one knows the secrets that we’re hiding
If word got loose, you’d face the lash
And thirteen loops would hold me fast and silent
Things are not always as they seem to be Outside us Devil got poor Persephone
But they can’t take
They can’t take you from me With every snip of the shears
A fist of her hair
Took to the air handsomely
Till it floated down among the clouds
Reflected on the glassy sea
When the winds disappeared
The crew stripped almost bare
And bathed in a transfixed sea
And all things are what they seem to be As she floated next to me Just out of reach
There is no knot so steadfast
It won’t go broke in the middle of monsoons
You don’t show, waiting, watching
Her wet lips and clothes soaked through
Blinded mind to the red sky and oxide clouds
Living just as a phasmid
Amidst lines and booms
Coupled up with abstinence and stolen looks
We broke our pledge against the bulkhead
And the world pitch poled.
Now Mr. Jones was a poor soul who walked into a tempest
Endless tying two poor fools.
A victim of the whipping when head sail floats footloose…
The best men can end when a storm rolls through
So we paid our keep
For the sin of a reckless dream
In the seam where secrets sleep
Between me, her, the Devil and the deep blue sea
Two years spent before the mast
And no one knows the secrets that we’re hiding
If word got loose, you’d face the lash
And thirteen loops would hold me fast and silent
Things are not always as they seem to be Outside us Devil got poor Persephone
But they can’t take
They can’t take you from me They can’t take you from me Can’t take you from me Can’t take you from me
Traduction des paroles
Ses lèvres mouillées et ses vêtements trempés à travers
Aveuglé l'esprit vers le ciel rouge et les nuages d'oxyde
Vivre comme un phasmide
Au milieu des lignes et des estacades
Couplé avec l'abstinence et les regards volés
Nous avons rompu notre engagement contre la cloison
Et le monde de hauteur polarisé.
M. Jones était une pauvre âme qui était entrée dans une tempête
Sans fin attacher deux pauvres imbéciles.
Une victime de la flagellation lorsque la tête voile flotte footloose…
Les meilleurs hommes peuvent finir quand une tempête passe
Nous avons donc payé notre donjon
Pour le péché d'un rêve imprudent
Dans la couture où les secrets dorment
Entre moi, elle, le diable et la mer bleue profonde
Deux ans passés avant le mât
Et personne ne connaît les secrets que nous cachent
Si le mot se relâchait, vous feriez face au fouet
Et treize boucles me tiendraient rapide et silencieux
Les choses ne sont pas toujours comme ils semblent être en dehors de nous diable a obtenu pauvre Perséphone
Mais ils ne peuvent pas prendre
Ils ne peuvent pas vous prendre de moi, Ils ne peuvent pas vous prendre de moi ne Peut pas vous prendre de moi ne Peut pas vous prendre de moi
