Down With the Ship

Lyrics

[Intro] I'd like to have a big hand for my brother Christopher on the fiddle I haven't seen him since last Christmas So, you know, we had a little rehearsal here this afternoon and Taught him a few new songs, and (You're not supposed to tell 'em) I've seen too much of this brother, though This is Jeff Hardy on the bass (Moose! Moose!) Alias "Moose" We're modeling the, the uh, Hardy tartan tonight It's for sale after the show Get a commission on all sales from the Scottish government [Verse 1] As we sat in the kitchen, the radio blaring News of a ship lost at sea And I thought of my friend who was out there somewhere Living out all his fantasies But it's not all that often the news touches us It always happens to somebody else But in the light of the few who create all the news We are forced to look at ourselves [Chorus] And we're all in the same boat together And we're all goin' down with the ship But when we go down in that deep, deep blue I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you [Verse 2] Though the hunger is real we are not from the hungry So we turn all our hunger inside And "Oh, I have suffered with those I saw suffer" And Shakespeare was never outside So cry in your pillow, your plaster is chipped And your paint, it is ugly and brown And your good friend has left on a sailing ship And you hope to hell he ain't drowned [Chorus] And we're all in the same boat together And we're all goin' down with the ship But when we go down in that deep, deep blue I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you [Verse 3] There's a cat in the toaster, there's toast in my shoes This chaos is loaded with lies In the era of "Nolle navem agitare" (Which is Latin for "Don't rock the boat") Abandon has dreams by its side And the table is set with the dregs of the wine The loaf set next to the knife And back in the days when the stakes weren't so high We were never afraid of life (Everybody) [Chorus] And we're all in the same boat together And we're all goin' down with the ship But when we go down in that deep, deep blue I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you (Sing it to the person next to you) And we're all in the same boat together And we're all goin' down with the ship But when we go down in that deep, deep blue I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you I'd love to go down with you
