Det her er altså et fremragende nummer. Og med en intens tekst, der matcher sangens fortættede, druknende undergangsstemning. Shark Fin Blues, indeed. Standing on the deck watching my shadow stretch The sun pours my shadow upon the deck The waters licking round my ankles now There aint no sunshine way way down I see the sharks out in the water like slicks of ink Well, theres one there bigger than a submarine As he circles I look in his eye I see Jonah in his belly by the campfire light See the albatross up in the windy lofts He gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off I hear the jettisoned cries from his dreams unkind Gets to whippin my ears like a riding crop The captain once as able as a fink dandy Hes now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink Hes laying dying of thirst and he says or I think Well, were gonna be alone from here on in Well you are all my brothers, and you have been kind But what were you expecting to find? Now your eyes turn inwards, countenance turns blank And Im floating away on a barrel of pain It looks like nothing but the sea and sky remain A harpoons shaft is short and wide A grappling hooks is cracked and dry I said, why dont you get down in the sea Turn the water red like you want to be? Cause if I cry another tear Ill be turned to dust No the sharks wont get me they dont feel loss Just keep one eye on the horizon man, you best not blink Theyre coming fin by fin until the whole boat sinks
