Blue Fish

I'm a friend of the seagulls
Of the river and the sea
It's the life of my waters
That I need to be free
Oh the godking is mighty
His noble priests are quite fine
But to the calm and wild waters
Belongs all that is mine
And every year our riverbank home is blessed
Every year by the holy Nile's bounty
And we can live, harvest our golden crops
And we can live by the holy Nile's bounty
And we can live among rabbits, cats, birds, bees, fish
And we can live by the holy Nile's bounty
The processions are joyful
And the pharaohs spring song
But when quietly sing my waters
That's when I will hum along
In later times men will build a forceful dam
To quell these ancient waves of life
On barren soil spoilt with a toxic wrong
You're out of balance, yearning, sold
So take my gift I wore close to my chest
Reminding you we can be safe in the elements
My lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish
Lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish
And every year our riverbank home is blessed
Every year by the holy Nile's bounty
And we can live, harvest our golden crops
And we can live by the holy Nile's bounty
And we can live among rabbits, cats, birds, bees, fish
And we can live by the holy Nile's bounty
So take my gift I wore close to my chest
Reminding you we can be safe in the elements
My lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish
Lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish
Lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish
Lapis lazuli blue fish, lapis lazuli blue fish

Nobody's Fault
03:47
|

|
Lord, I must be dreamin'
What else could this be?
Everybody's screamin'
Runnin' for the sea
Holy lands are sinkin'
Birds take to the sky
The prophets all are stinkin' drunk
I know the reason why!
Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill-at-ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason, everyone's to blame
Children of the season, don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it, now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound, we did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault!
Yet another heatwave
Yet another drought
Yet another fire
Time is running out
There are those of courage
Listen with their ears
Screaming like Cassandras
When no one really hears
One of these days you'll be sorry
Too many fuck-ups you can't fix
Three hundred K but what's the story?
Losing it all just for kicks?!
Out of rhyme or reason, everyone's to blame
Children of the season, don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry
Sorry
Man has known it, now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound, we did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late!
Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill-at-ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up in debris
California's burning
Five o'clock's the news
All our noble leaders prefer to take a snooze
Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it, now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound, we did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late!
(Draining all the rivers / to wash your SUVs / Crops turned
into desert / for your petty needs.)

Duck Island
04:59
|
|||
|
And when the ducks came in flight
And the sea winds were storming
One knew what a great day did break!
And when the blackcherry night turned into a blueberry morning
In expectation the island did wake
And when the ducks came in flight
And the sea winds were storming
One knew what a great day did break!
And when the blueberry morning turned into a sunflower day
The ducks they all came together
And beat their wings to the sun and stuck their heads to the wind
For this is the way ducks do gather!
An island is chosen by voices of ducks
To be island of ducks for one year.
On one glorious day in this circle of time
The great ducks do all gather here!
Our wings carry wisdom, our eyes know the world
And all of us share what we learned.
Of knowledge and secrets and ways of the world
And things only ducks could have heard.
And when the sunflower day turned into a raspberry eve
The ducks stuck their heads to their feathers
And under orangy light the isle burst with pride
For here it was the great ducks had gathered!
And when the raspberry eve turned into a blackcherry night
The island had sunken to dreams.
But the ducks they did wake and flew swift with the winds
Far away, to the stars, so it seems!
An island is chosen by voices of ducks
To be island of ducks for one year.
On one glorious day in this circle of time
The great ducks do all gather here!
Our wings carry wisdom, our eyes know the world
And all of us share what we learned.
Knowledge and secrets and ways of the world
And things only ducks could have heard.

Sunset Shit
04:09
|

|
It's gonna be another cold night. Right.
Another night on Sunset Strip. Shit.
Another night that's gonna suck. Fuck.
Moved away from home out to Hollywood
To live just like we think we should
No car, no flat and this is it:
Night after night on Sunset Strip. Yeah!
Downtown Los Angeles
I'm so tired, get no sleep.
Hope it'll work out for you and me
And that we'll get off the streets! Yeah!
Paranoia, heart attack! We're in too deep no turning back! No!
Just some more young musicians stranded in L.A.
For so many fuckin' years it's been the same
It just might be a dream come true -
Hey, L.A., we're stuck with you! Yeah!
We're gonna play the Whisky and the Roxy and all
Just give us some time, it's all under control
Though things right now don't look so bright
Especially when it's cold at night! Yeah!
Photogenic star attack! It's our choice no turning back! No!
I tell ya being hungry sucks!
This emptiness just hurts my guts!
I light another cigarette
And I'm gonna drink some Jack! Yeah!
Palm trees, California sky
Hummingbirds are humming by
I think someone said that before:
I think we knocked on heaven's door!
Perseverance dream attack! We chase the sky no turning back! No!
We won't back down!

Sea Mud Tea
04:31
|
|||
|
I remember when I was walking down Sunset Strip
The night was clear and sweet but I knew no-one.
Then I saw this girl with black nail polish on her nails
She said she lived in the sea and her name was Louise.
Oh, I’ll never forget the days we had!
I’ll never forget the tea she made!
It was a sea mud tea.
Her hair smelled of salt - I’d never smelled such hair before
Her eyes were deep and dark just like the sea.
She took me by the hand and led the way down to the sea
And I - I followed her into the waves!
Oh, I’ll never forget the days we had!
I’ll never forget the tea she made!
It was a sea mud tea.
It tasted so strange - I’d never had such tea before!
I closed my eyes and i lost control.
She took me by the hand and led me to her bed.
She took off her clothes and then we made love!
Oh, I’ll never forget the days we had!
I’ll never forget the tea she made!
It was a sea mud tea.
Sometimes I try to look back and remember what life was like
Before I met Louise and drank her tea.
But very soon I realize - I don’t remember anything!
So I decided to ask Louise!
But she just looked at me and smiled a funny smile.
Then she gave me tea and we made love.
Oh, I’ll never forget the days we had!
I’ll never forget the tea she made!
It was a sea mud tea.
So now here I am - I’ll stay beneath the sea
And Louise is working in a sea shell factory.
Sometimes I wonder just what is wrong with me
It seems I got addicted to her tea!
Oh, I’ll never forget the days we had!
I’ll never forget the tea she made!
It was a sea mud tea.

El Dorado
04:36
|

|
El Dorado - searching for something that doesn't exist
El Dorado - destroying life on a senseless quest
The illness gold, the spell of El Dorado
Lured men away, deep into the jungle
Seeking riches for themselves, bringing death
to everybody else
Sloth - I'm just dreaming in the trees
Capybara - I'm just chilling' in the swamp
Tapir - I just wallow in the mud
We all live here, this is the home we love
El Dorado - searching for something that doesn't exist
El Dorado - destroying life on a senseless quest
Their arguments are worthless, irrelevant their riches
We will not stand back and watch
As they destroy to line their pockets with death
Sloth - we stand with you
Capybara - we'll heal your home
Tapir - we'll shield you from harm
We are all one, this is the home we love
El Dorado - searching for something that doesn't exist
El Dorado - we'll kick your ass out of here!

Smash the Dam
04:02
|

|
Larvae adrift from the South
Ride the Gulf Stream waters
Northward bound
Trusting the ancient currents.
Glass eels greeting the coast
Follow the call upstream
As elvers they greet the river
See what their parents have seen.
Smash the dam and break the barrier!
Eels must swim from sea to source!
As they've always done before!
A spawning migration
A river running free
A dark stormy night
When the silver eels seek the sea
Like stars in the sky
Let the journey begin!
Smash the dam and break the barrier!
Eels must swim from source to sea!
As they've always done before!
Years of golden river dawns
A home for yellow eels
Rest among the roots of trees
'Til one day they dream of the sea.
South through a dark ocean
Like stars in the night
The eternal cycle
Spawn in a seagrass dawn.
Smash the dam and break the barrier!
Eels must swim from sea to source!
As they've always done before!
Are ya fuckin' ready 'cos eels are! Eels are!

Part of it All
05:07

Eels swim. Rain falls.
Redshanks sing. The wind calls.
And we are part of it all!
And we are part of it all!
Eels swim.
From the sea to the river.
From the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river,
from the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river,
from the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river.
From the river to the sea.
And we are part of it all!
And we are part of it all!
Climbing down to the Strait,
Sitting by the water even put your feet in.
Put your feet in.
Climbing down to the Strait,
Sitting by the water even put my feet in.
Put my feet in.
Climbing down to the Strait.
Lettin’ little stones skip over the water.
One, two, three, four, five.

Dive into the Swellies,
And then rise again! :||
