Æther Shanty Lyrics

My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
and this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck.
We've flown ten thousand miles
with this thorn in our sides
though the winds stay strong
with no clouds in the skies.
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire,
and this whole b***** ship could go up like a pyre.
We've got smiles on our faces,
but we've seen this before;
no telling just now
what we have in store.

The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing
plans behind doors
running low on the rum
(I'm/and) depleting our stores.
It's a "who's on our side" and "who's ready to flip"
when we hit the next port,
the whole crew could jump ship.
With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cutthroat's, the lot
With the paranoid captain always smelling the plot
We've worked hard on this journey,
but there's no land in sight
and before it's all ended
there could be a fight
Arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
and this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck.
Flown ten thousand miles
with this thorn in our sides
though the winds stay strong
with no clouds in the skies

With the ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire,
and this whole b***** ship could go up like a pyre
We've got smiles on our faces
but we've seen this before
No telling just now
what we have in store
