Sunless Sea - Dan Bull

Oh!

Oh!

Oh the Londoners come to see the unterzee.

They flock to the docks and watch the boxes and stocks

That are dropped from atop off the

Steamers and frigates and dreadnaughts and cutters and cruisers and corvettes

and yachts.

Each and every of 'em a story has got.

Here’s ours:

T’was dark when we parted the port

And started our voyage to far, distant shores.

This tiny tub’s not the fastest for sure

But I’d rather have her than no transport at all

From humble beginnings I come for your winnings

There’s always a calm before there’s a storm

So batten the hatches and pull down your patches

We’re passing through Gaider’s Mourn 'till we find the dawn

Smell the sea breeze, a cold chill, Neptune’s deep freeze

Now I’m not sure of the maritime law down here

So we’ll do as we please

We sail the sea (We sail the sea)

The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea

We sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The

sunless sea)

We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea

Tides are lapping on the side, rising damp.

Eyes widen with fright, light the lamp.

No mind how cramped, we will ride 'till we find any island in sight

Now camp.

Is that a lighthouse lamp or a giant crab?

Is it a shark, or can we disembark?

Oh.

Rats.

Better sink the barge,

Although I’m not a whale I am deffo living large.

You’re a landlubber I was born in sand blubber’s in my blood

But I look damn good when I scrub up any port in a storm, tear the pub up

Three months at sea means there’s gonna be some hubbub

We sail the sea (We sail the sea)

The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea

We sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The

sunless sea)

We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea

When we’ve each had our fill of the menu

We head out the venue

Prepared to continue.

Turning that lard into muscle and sinew

Discover just how much swashbuckle is in you

When you’re smuggling human souls

Whose tombs are cold

You lose control.

You’re ravenous too, the food is mouldy, too damn salty.

The deep hue of this blue’s unholy

Fool I told ye

Skippers who consume their crews are lonely.

And fuel is low, we’ve used the coal, so I’m cruising home

We sail the sea (We sail the sea)

The Sunless Sea, The Sunless Sea

We sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath the sunless sea (The

sunless sea)

We sail the sea, The Sunless Sea, we sail the sea

We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath The Sunless Sea
