Paroles de 'Mutiny' par Jolly Rogers

The captain he decided we’d all go ‘round the horn
In that fateful moment a hatred it was born
The trip was truly awful with the sleet and hail and
Wind
And by the time we turned back we’d lost 14 men

With that act the captain had lit a deadly spark
That would sit and smolder waiting in the dark
Before you lay your judgment please hear our story
Through
And you’ll see there was just one thing we could do

Mutiny! Mutiny!

The futile try it added almost four weeks to our trip
And when we hit the islands we just wanted off that
Ship
Exotic natives greeted us, girls beckoned from the
Beach
Our captain he decided a cruel lesson he would teach

The captain said: Now look here lads, your attitude’s
Quite poor
And for your bitter discontent you’ll not step foot on
The shore
So aboard our ship we sat as the forbidden plot took
Shape
We knew when that word was spoke that there’d be no
Escape from

Mutiny! Mutiny!
We all knew the risks when we lit that fuse
But from where we stood we had nothing left to lose
The crew had reached their limit, the captain crossed
The line
And the crew all stared that icy stare, ‘cause we knew
It was time for
Mutiny! Mutiny!

Three long hellish weeks we waited, anchored in the bay
And cursed the captain’s officers as they went ashore
Each day
And when the captain finally said “It’s time the sails
Were set
Off we sailed dreaming of girls we never met

Now we’ll make a second run to the horn, the captain
Said
But we knew that we would choose a different path
Instead
All that day we waited till the sun was setting low
And in the blood-red darkness were whispers down below
Of

Mutiny! Mutiny!

The officers were the first to go, they went down one
By one
As we approached the captain’s door, we were nearly
Done
The crew took all his weapons, but we gave him time to
Dress
When he was done, we bound him and threw him with the
Rest

Those that chose to join us we let stay on through the
Trip
The rest got tack and old salt beef and booted off the
Ship
They wanted the Horn so desperately, so we left them to
The sea
And sailed back to that island to take a sailor’s ease
From

Mutiny! Mutiny!
We all knew the risks when we lit that fuse
But from where we stood we had nothing left to lose
The crew had reached their limit, the captain crossed
The line
And the crew all stared that icy stare, ‘cause we knew
It was time for
Mutiny! Mutiny!

Now we stand before you knowing of our chosen fate
And now you know the cruelty of the story we relate
Goin’ round the horn again we knew there was no hope
So we chose a little pleasure and our end here from a
Rope
