Вольтер Эрнандес.
Прекрасная метафора того, что, в сущности, у всех нас
одна и та же судьба, так что нет причин унывать, особенно, если ты в хорошей компании!
Voltaire - This Ship's Going Down
A gargantuan hole in the bow, will the ocean to enter allow.
Oh but more a sin than letting it in it's letting our good fortune out.
The nest to the storm did succumb, while the crow hid his fear in the rum.
And the mast, it broke and threw out the bloke and well now he's surely my chum.
Love letters from under his bed, holds the cabin boy over his head
A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet.
They were penned by a girl in Merak, and the Javanese value their tact.
She'll conclude he's horribly rude 'cause he's sure as hell not writing back.
(Chorus)
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together
I've had women of every kind, but the only one truly was mine
Is the one at home who'll be alone when I am full-up with brine.
For my son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I can.
Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man.
(Chorus)
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
'Cause I'm in good company
As we're all going together
I was sinking down into the brine, when a curious sight caught my eye.
Seaman Shaft had found him a raft and was makin' a speedy goodbye.
At the risk of sounding absurd, I have always been good as my word.
So a fishgig I, lanced into his eye and I knocked his ass overboard.
(Chorus)
'Cause this ship's going down
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
There's no need to frown
'Cause we're all going together
And I won't say "Woe is me"
As I disappear into the sea
Oh hell!
'Cause you've all been so good to me
So we're all going together.
Самая антилицемерная песня на планете
Death Death (Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil, Evil Evil Song)
My granny while on her deathbed,
She turned and said to me,
"Why must you view life so morbidly?
I tried to teach you right,
But somewhere I went wrong,
'Cause you sing those death, death, devil, devil, evil, evil songs."
When six pallbearers put her down
And laid her body in the ground,
My eyes were wet, my face was very long.
The pastor said, "Son, here you are.
Won't you please take this guitar?
Sing dear departed Granny one last song."
And I sang...
(Chorus)
Death, death, devil, devil, devil, devil, evil, evil, evil, evil songs.
Hell, you know that's how I get along.
(The world is full of tragedy) so how can it be wrong,
Singing death, death, death, death, devil, devil, evil, evil songs.
Well, I was shopping at Hot Topic
And I was walking out the door,
When two dumb jocks came up to me.
They said, "Hey fag, it ain't Halloween!"
And they kicked my lipstick to the floor.
And I sang...
(Chorus - The world is full of idiots)
Well, I went down to church on Sunday.
I sat up front in a pew.
The priest said, "Jesus and Mary, too!
Son, what the Devil's got into you?
Get up and sing a hymn or two!"
And I sang...
(Chorus - The world's full of hypocrisy)
I was invited to the White House.
The president pulled me aside.
He said, "Son, sing us a song of peace
For those evil-doers in the Middle East."
I rolled my eyes and kicked this rhyme.
I sang...
(Chorus - The world is full of Dubyas)
Well, then I died and went to Hell.
I could tell right away by the awful smell
That this was clearly not the pearly gates.
The Devil said, "Come here young man.
My wife and I are your biggest fans!"
So naturally I felt I had it made.
Well, then he reached into an iron chest
And he picked the tool that he felt was best.
And then he jabbed me in the schlong
With a pitchfork that had sharpened prongs.
He turned to me and winked and sang this song.
He sang...
Death, death, devil, devil, devil, devil, evil, evil, evil, evil songs.
Yeah, I know that's how you got along.
I find your songs hilarious but now your soul's precarious,
Singing your death, death, death, death, devil, devil, evil, evil songs.
I'm just kidding, kid. Welcome to Hell, enjoy the buffet!
(Chorus)
Death, death, devil, devil, devil, devil, evil, evil, evil, evil songs.
Hell, you know that's how we get along.
The world is full of sinners so how can it be wrong,
Singing death, death, death, death, devil, devil, evil, evil songs.
