yay, this is soo cool JB!!! Love the way you do these collages of music and words - cool beat

Your lyrics are so good that they put you right there inside of the engine room!

ENGINE ROOM

Down here in the engine room
There’s oily steam, sardines and gloom
Brass, glass gauges about to burst
Stinking sailors Oh it gets worse, 
It gets worse

Vibrating pipes all leaking  steam
Its hot enough to burst a spleen
Valve wheels hissing wall to wall
Ive seen them blow it killed them all


This furnace just consumes your soul
A gaping mouth of firey coal
Every shovel full into its open hole
It just cries out for more

Imre’s fireman No 1
Above the bilge water he’s top gun
He keeps fire in the belly 
Of this hungry sun 
Without even breaking sweat
Hows your shift been Imre or Gun

Well maybe numb, maybe no one
I think I should be on the run
But here I stand and shake and gape 
And looking for a fire escape

Cause I’m supposed to extinguish the sun
When all I got is a water gun

Am I supposed to extinguish the sun
When all I got is a water gun

This block of woods the gally bench
Scuze the fish heads, eggs and stench
Oh there’s my long lost monkey wrench
You like coffee from a can?

Down here in the engine room
Its all oily rags and whistled tunes
We even got our own spitoon
Putt ding Dam missed again!!

Down here in the engine room
There’s a thousand valves
A million miles of tube
The valve wheel handles are 
Lipstick red
With blotches of blood
Where I keep hitting my head

Signal up to the captains tower
The baker in the boiler 
Is running out of flower 

And if he goes down 
this ship will be running out of power
This IS an SOS

Imre whats the semifore flag for more flour?

That water rising  through the floor
May mean we wont be here no more
I always draw the shortest straw
I win a locker with Davy Jones

Those pistons ringing in my ears
Are all Ive heard for 40 years
I’m going to drown 1000 beers
If we make it back to land

Our ship was launched the Venis Devine
But were here down  under he plimsal line
Your every move is like your drinking wine
You often find the floor with your head


Down here in the engine room
Its all oily rags and whistled tunes
We even got our own spitoon
Putt ding Dam missed again!!


Down here in the engine room
Its all oily rags and whistled tunes
We even got our own spitoon
 Dam missed again!! Got it!
