HEMERA:
Fishing
does your head in
Fishing
dragging nets in
Wishing all this stink and muck away
ALL: Hey! Now you’re talkin’
HEMERA:
Fishing
not a living
Fishing
always giving
Rot and guts and scales and slime all day
Yes we pay!
ALL:
Oh, how we pay!
BAKER:
(So you say)
BEGGAR:
Day after day after day
ERIDAN
We were born for this – and don’t you forget it!
ALL:
Yo ho here we go
Haul the line and don’t let go
Yo ho here we go
Haul the line for aye
| FISHMONGER: | ALL: |
| Fishing you’re forgetting | Yo ho here we go |
| We’ve all been born for fishing | Haul the line and don’t let go |
| It’s a worthy occupation | Yo ho here we go |
| the salt is in our veins | the salt is in our veins |
FISHMONGER:
So stop the constant whining
It’s time to put your back to work
| FISHMONGER: | ALL: |
| When you’re fishing, you’re forgetting | Yo ho here we go |
| the salt is in our veins | the salt is in our veins |
BLACKSMITH:
Our lives are as changeable as the sea!
Dark clouds to the East I see
FISHMONGER: (Eridan, Magoi join them)
Seas they change
with the tides
Fish are scarce
messes up our lives
| ALL: | FISHMONGER/HEMERA: |
| Comes the rain, comes the rain | Living’s hard |
| Winds will blow, winds will blow | Hand to mouth |
| Waves and spray, waves and spray | Life’s a worry |
| Fishing’s slow, fishing’s still we smile | ALL: Still we smile |
BEGGAR:
Day after day, after day
MAGOI: (All join the line)
One last time with a sea fever! Ha ha.
ALL:
Yo ho here we go
Haul the line and don’t let go
Yo ho here we go
Haul the line for aye
| FISHMONGER: | ALL: |
| Fishing you’re forgetting | Yo ho here we go |
| We’ve all been born for fishing | Haul the line and don’t let go |
| so the point that you are missing | Yo ho here we go |
| is salt is in our veins | salt is in our veins |
FISHMONGER:
So stop the constant whining
It’s time to put your back to work
| FISHMONGER: | ALL: |
| When you’re fishing, you’re forgetting | Yo ho here we go |
| the salt is in your veins | the salt is in your veins |
ALL:
Our lives will never change
There’s no hope for change
When you’re fishing!
Hey! Ha Ha!
