[00:05.56] THE TRAGICALLY HIP
[00:08.19] Nautical Disaster
[00:13.27]
[00:17.57] I had this dream where I relished the fray
[00:24.02] And the screaming filled my head all day
[00:34.92] It was as though I'd been spit here
[00:39.51] Settled in, into the pocket
[00:43.85] Of a lighthouse on some rocky socket
[00:51.01] Off the coast of France, dear
[00:55.42]
[00:56.81] One afternoon four thousand men died in the water here
[01:05.22] And five hundred more were thrashing madly
[01:11.40] As parasites might in your blood
[01:25.49] Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only
[01:31.70] Anything that systematic would get you hated
[01:37.80] It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated
[01:49.80] The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order
[01:56.10] And those left in the water
[02:00.19] Got kicked off our pant leg
[02:05.56] And we headed for home
[02:10.87]
[02:16.11]
[02:18.97]
[02:22.43] Then the dream ends when the phone rings
[02:26.40] "You doing all right?"
[02:28.52] He said, "It's out there most days and nights
[02:32.54] But only a fool would complain"
[02:38.59] Anyway, Susan, if you like
[02:44.45] Our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory
[02:54.04] As those fingernails scratching on my hull
[03:03.89]
[03:09.47]
