Man O' War
Waded out into the tide
stung by jellyfish & died
left a wife & child behind
ages 36 & 9.
Christmas morning pictures fading tinsel glare
Kim how long you gonna stare
never sleep without a light
hate aquariums alright
older boyfriends all your life
& usually they have a wife
blame yourself blame your mother blame the sea
blame a lover blame psychiatry
to never know what kind of man your father'd be
how you'd wished he'd kept a diary
stung by jellyfish & died
left a wife & child behind
ages 36 & 9.
Christmas morning pictures fading tinsel glare
Kim how long you gonna stare
never sleep without a light
hate aquariums alright
older boyfriends all your life
& usually they have a wife
blame yourself blame your mother blame the sea
blame a lover blame psychiatry
to never know what kind of man your father'd be
how you'd wished he'd kept a diary
