Abney Park - Aether Shanties Lyrics

My 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 wind's steady strong with no clouds in the skies

The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
And this whole bloody 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 and depleting our stores

Can't tell 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, cut-throats the lot
With a paranoid captain always smelling a 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

My 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 wind's steady strong with no clouds in the skies

The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire

And this whole bloody 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
