/

about

Inspired by The Three Snake Leaves as retold by the Brothers Grimm.

lyrics

Let's row hard sink or swim
Trust no one think you'll win

Sea salt spray take it all away holiday yeah we're off again
What you gonna say come on pray
Tell me why there's so many snakes hidden in the waves

Hey! Everybody gets betrayed be afraid

Hey! do you wanna hear a story well okay

See I had this missus treated like a princess but that bitch was vicious now listen to this Shit
We sailed out on this ship a voyage for business but she did me dirty like oily dishes
I swallowed my instincts and followed her wishes
Was she up to no good well the answer is yes
The captain was meeting her she gave him kisses
That should have been mine can you hear this foolishness
And then they decided that they were in love and both plotted to send me to sleep with The fishes
I was asleep when they did this
Threw me overboard that was deeply malicious what is this
The person I loved was extremely fictitious
A faker a traitor a fiend and a mistress
I fought the waves just to keep my existence
But luckily I had some provisions

Let's row hard
Sink or swim
Trust no one
Think you'll win

Well ship mate they thought I was dead
But now I'm using my head
Cause she was confused and mislead
Thinking I sunk like a stone but instead
I got back on the ship and I chopped off his head
Then I cut hers off left it in his bed
And laughed like a loon I was covered with red
See the trick to survival I'll tell you instead
It's a new drug called Snake Leaves you take these and yes
You'll live even if you had ten seconds left
So I took three of them with my very last breath
And swam back to the ship you know what happened next
I guess there are things I don't need to accept
She cheated on me but I cheated on death
I got my revenge I don't feel no regret
Some people would bet I was evil and yet
I just did what she did to me really that's it
Now the sea is my girl and she's faithful to me
So sailor tell me are you able to be
Discreet if you are I can sell you these leaves
And you too can cheat death with the help of just three

Well how much you selling it for?
If you want to live a bit longer you'll have to shell out a bit of bounty. It ain't seaweed I'm Selling
Oh alright go on then
Come over here and I'll sort you out mate

People don't do what they're supposed to do
You can betrayed by those close to you
Close to you
Love is like a wave for the chosen few
It crashes and escapes then it's over too

Let's row hard
Sink or swim
Trust no one
Think you'll win

Hey ho
Lets go
Snakes won't
Get no
