Generate meaning
1
The Captain's fore-arm like buncht-up rope
2
With A-N-I-T-A wrigglin free onto skull''dagger
3
And a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor
4
Etched into the upper...
5
Slams his fucken tin-dish down
6
Our Captain, takes time to crush
7
Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel
8
With a lump in his throat, and lumpy mush
9
Thumbing a scrap book stuck up with clag
10
And a morbid lump of Love in his flag.
11
Done is the Missing, now all that remain
12
Is to sail forever, upon the stain
13
Cabin Fever! O o o' Cabin Fever!
14
The captain's free-hand is a clearer
15
Which he fashions his beard''he rations his jerkey!
16
And carves his peg onto the finest mahagony!
17
Or was it Ebony? Etc...
18
Tallys up his loneliness, notch by notch
19
For the sea offers nuthin to hold or touch
20
Notch by notch, winter by winter
21
Notch x notch, winter x winter
22
Now his leg is whittled, right down to a splinter
23
O o Cabin Fever! O o o Cabin Fever!
24
O the rollin sea still rollin on!
25
She's everywhere! Now that she's gone! Gone! Gone!
26
O Cabin Fever! O Cabin Fever!
27
Welcome to his table, Beloved-Unconscious
28
Raisin her host of hair from her crooks
29
And strugglin to summony one of her looks!
30
His arm now like coild s-s-s-snakes
31
Whips all the bottles that he's drunken,
32
Like crystal-skittles about the cabin,
33
Of a ship they'd bin sailing
34
Five years sunken... Etc..
