A Cursed Ship’s Tale 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Splitting the waves Of all seven seas Going straight on Its captain to please A steady ol’ clipper Fulfilling its duty For the crew’s volition On their quest for booty Its crew always prospered Their lives seemed all nice But their success Came with a price REF Forsaken planks of treasure Cursing all its crews Plenty of gold, no pleasure They all drown in booze Once a man set A foot on the deck His life was to end As no more than a wreck They robbed many ships With freights of all kinds As the curse drained their souls And prisoned their minds REF Their victories were many And so were their riches The tonnage full of gold Their bunks filled with bitches But no wench and no toy Could ever seize the pain Treasure’s Bane took their joy All their trouble was in vain REF

Quest For Booze 05:36
lyrics
buy track
We’ve been sober for too many days No tasty beverages crossed our ways We have to change that miserable state There is absolutely no debate We need Whisky! We need Rum! We prefer it from the drum We need Ouzo! We need Eau de Vie! To compensate for the waving sea REF On a quest for booze we go Our alcohol level is too low Drunk is what we want to be Only then, we will be free Life at sea is very rough Therefore, we have to drink enough We can’t do this job with a clear head We’ll stay groggy ‘till we’re dead We need Bourbon! We need Scotch! To pull us through the midnight watch We need vodka! We need gin! With them all battles we will win REF The hangover has to go away Then we can enjoy our day ‘Cause there’s still no medication Drinking on is the ambulation We need Brandy! We need Cognac! We drink back to back We need Tequila! We need Mezcal! We have to catch ‘em all! REF REF

Into The Storm 07:05
lyrics

Chased by Spanish ships No chance to win a fight They are catching up And soon comes the night A storm rages in the west The sea demonstrates all its force The only chance to escape ‘Captain orders to change the course REF Into the storm leads the trip A torture for the ship We beg for mercy from the sea We will be dead or free Waves are getting high The wind shakes the masts Water spills on deck Increasingly the storm blasts Furl the sails so the masts don’t break Go under deck and begin to scull Steer the ship against the waves Pump the water out of the hull REF Suddenly, it gets silent We reached the eye The hope to survive fades We get ready to die Crew! Hold your positions! There’s no time to get tired! The second half is in front of us Your reserves are now required Dying is the day Worth living for We go back Into the storm! The Storm gets stronger Waves hit from the side The pumps are too slow Too much water comes inside ‘Helmsman can’t hold the rudder The sea floods the deck Finally, it keels over We all sink with the wreck REF

Surrender Or Die 04:27

For weeks, we’ve been on sea Looking for a prize Finally, at the horizon A mast begins to rise We change the course To pursue the prey The distance gets smaller The target turns away But we can catch up Prepared to fight The cannons are loaded Everyone is quiet REF The Black Flag we raise We board that ship Fear is in their eyes They regret this trip Your cargo we take No matter what you try So make no mistake Surrender or die! We sail abeam For orders we wait Our captain offers them To choose their fate But these dumb lobsters Don’t want to retreat ‘Captain orders fire Now they face defeat REF The battle was hard They fought till death Their captain begged for mercy With his last breath Now we will plunder Their cargo hold The success is great It is full of gold REF Surrender or die!

Invisible Pineapples 05:09
lyrics

Invisible Pineapples! Invisible Pineapples! Invisible Pineapples! Crush them all! ‘Came out of the tavern with the need to sleep Under a shady tree, I fell in dreams so deep I saw a beautiful wench swim to my boat She demands something for her dry throat My dirty mind knew only one answer “You may sip out of my impressive tower” She seemed unamused and punched my chin I woke up with a headache what has this been? Invisible Pineapples! On my head they did fall Invisible Pineapples! Felt like a cannonball Invisible Pineapples! It wasn’t the alcohol Invisible Pineapples! Crush them all! I was under deck and took a few swigs of rum After a while I emptied a drum The following events I cannot remember My brain gave up on his labor No clue what caused my memories to end Not the rum, rum is my friend The next recall was my pate hurting extremely I think the crewmates threw something at me Invisible Pineapples! Bastards, screw you all Invisible Pineapples! Felt like a cannonball Invisible Pineapples! It wasn’t the alcohol Invisible Pineapples! Crush them all! We were stranded on a benighted island With wine I went away from the sand into the jungle to a comfy place With pleasure I poured the juice in my face I fell asleep, woke up with monkeys ‘round They stared at me and made a laughing sound I realized that my head hurts again Those beasts must have been guilty for my pain Invisible Pineapples! Crucifyingly die they shall Invisible Pineapples! Felt like a cannonball Invisible Pineapples! It wasn’t the alcohol Invisible Pineapples! Crush them all! Invisible Pineapples! They will be keelhauled Invisible Pineapples! Felt like a cannonball Invisible Pineapples! It wasn’t the alcohol Invisible Pineapples! Crush them all! And the moral of the story is very simple for thee Actually pineapples don’t grow on a tree

Kraken’s Chest 05:46
lyrics

Ahoy! Far off the shore we stand Long time not seen the land Waiting, guns in hand For the beast’s ascent REF ´Captain screams to the stars „Krakens chest shall be ours! “ Stabbed by the pirates blades The Krakens life soon fades The crews’ hands clenched around Their cutlasses, blood drowned. At midnight they hear The infernal rising sound REF Sails and planks break ´part Crushed by the monsters’ arms „Crew! Man the Cannons! ” „Shoot the demons heart! “

REF Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot He doesn’t ask for cracker Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot Paul! Paul! Paul the parrot He screams for more liquor This is the story of an unusual bird Of one like this, you haven’t yet heard On ‘captains shoulders since many years There’s no storm or battle he fears Tattooed feathering from head to tail Every picture has its own tale An eye-patch and a wooden leg For mercy he would never beg REF Paul swears more than anyone aboard because of him, we’ll never be bored When we party, he is always here And loves to drink a lot of beer Rum drenched pineapple, his favorite food If he does get none, he gets in a mad mood Then in battle, he flies into frenzy He sees our foes and goes crazy REF One day Paul flew away from his crew Where he was gone, nobody knew He returned with five females at his side All gravid. He stood there with pride The eggs hatched out some weeks later Little birds cursing over the freighter Now a whole swarm is on the ship And supports us on every trip

‘Started under Captain Vane Obeying him didn’t fit me fine Many times, he ordered retreat In mutiny, he suffered defeat Now good prizes were our own Even a ship we captured from the crown But while on land they took it back And the pardon now led the track Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders Sailing the seas without obeying orders Drinking all day and stealing your wife Is all that matters in my way of life Following the law was not sunny I had an affair with Anne Bonny We stole a sloop and we flew Undetected Mary Read joined the crew They sent out pirate hunters We were caught by Barnets soldiers The women fought without a doubt While we were drunk and passed out Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders Sailing the seas without obeying orders Drinking all day and stealing your wife Is all that matters in my way of life Here at the gallows I stay So, this shall be my last day I’m facing the reaper, yet I have nothing to regret The last thoughts of my life Go out to my wife And the kid that grows in her I beg for mercy in a prayer Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders Sailing the seas without obeying orders Drinking all day and stealing your wife Was all that mattered in my way of life Wind in my neck and the devil on my shoulders Sailing the seas without obeying orders Drinking all day and stealing your wife Was all that mattered in my way of life

REF Kicking Flamingos They feel our boots Kicking Flamingos Their damn caw mutes Kicking Flamingos We hate them all Kicking Flamingos They will all fall So now we are on this island A shipwreck brought us here Tons of ship parts in the sand We are out of rum and beer Hungry and bored we’re laying around This place seems uninhabited Then we hear that annoying sound Around the corner food and fun is ahead REF They try to escape without a fight It's useless, so they meet their fate But more are coming in the night Their pink eyes are full of hate Immediately we pick up boots and gun We go into battle with laughter To kick them is a lot of fun And we have a feast thereafter REF

Davy Jones’ Locker 03:47

On foreign seas, we’re now, far away from any land We saw how the Kraken’s life was fading And afterwards our captain was banned To the end of the world, our crew is heading To Davy Jones‘ Locker we sail He took the captain to this place “As payment for my pet’s life” Jones yelled with anger in his face But we cannot accept this So, we’re on this insane route The abyss comes in sight We save him from this brute REF Over the edge of the world, we sail We don’t know what we expect This is so mad it cannot fail For Davy Jones we have no respect Our captain we take back But a mystery is first in line Solved, it shows us the track To return with a green shine Gliding isn’t a ship’s purpose So, the landing wasn’t smooth The mending roughly done Our skills we have to proof If we don’t know the way back Before sunset, we will drown ‘Captain has an insane plan “Turn the ship upside down” REF

Loyal to none! None but rum! Loyal to none! None but rum! We want no queens And no kings Just stay away with laws And such things They are thousands of miles away And that’s where they should stay Come down from your golden throne And fight your dumb wars alone REF Loyal to none, none but rum Loyal to none, none but rum We are living free Just us and the sea The duty is gone Loyal to none None but rum! We want no priest And no pope We don’t need the Decalogue And false hope We don’t want to pay our gold Just to be controlled Stop your evangelization We don’t believe in salvation REF We need a ship And much rum This way free people We become Let’s get aboard and set sail We don’t fear death or jail And if our last day has come First give us a glass of rum REF

There’s a maledict place Where all hell was let loose Where the scum of all seas Gathered for booze Pirates! Scoundrels! Brave Buccaneers! Hold up your pints And drink up your beers A gallon of ale and one glass of rum A bottle of whisky – let’s start the fun A tankard of grog and a tankard of mead A drum full of wine, now you’ll take the lead A gallon of ale and one glass of rum A bottle of whisky – let’s start the fun A handful of shots and a bottle o’ champagne If you can still stand, start all over again No ordinary men Could endure that many drinks Or that is at least What the world thinks But I tell ye my friend There’s a secret with ’em One has to observe And acquire their Rhythm

Once every year Our heads filled with beer When the tide is high And the pirates say “Aye!” Crews gather here from all seven seas To party together Without boundaries REF The pints we rise To the open skies The fields are green And the people unclean We cry out to the crowd And the crowd is loud We screw and drink Until we can’t think A place full of wenches pirates make ‘em drip And their eyes tell me They want my ship The waiting’s end is nigh At anchor we lie Now tap some rum And turn the sound up high REF The party is at peak And sleep is for the weak So, the boozing goes on ‘Till the night is gone And on the third day When it comes to an end We all surely know That we’ll come here again REF

The Undying Sailor 05:37
lyrics

There once was a sailor His name's Nicky McJackey His one purpose of life Was to drink and be whacky During life’s many days He got fabulously skilled No matter how much he sways Drinks won't get him killed But once upon a time He looked at the wrong guy He got into the wrong place And saw a demonic face The reaper offered the mate To play deaths evil game "You may lose and be slain! Or maybe put death to shame!" Ol' McJackey refused And offered instead To play a game of his own Called "drink till one's dead" The fierce reaper agreed To McJackey's contest Not knowing indeed That he'll end up depressed They did both drink a lot But as it had to end Death collapsed on the spot Leaving Nicky to win Outdrinking death Is what old Nicky did Death was ashamed He ran away and hid The reaper still lives Comes out now and then But ol’ Nicky McJackey Never saw him again
