the president lincoln - the sinking of the president lincoln lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in a shipyard in belfast the company lifers passed right a headline with a familiar name
and with tools down they gather for ritual liquor
“raise a glass boys!
even though she wasn’t ours still to love”

[chorus + instrumental]

[verse 2]
in a manhattan sweatshop to escape nicks remember?
10 straight days seasick, 3000 miles
from a souvenir photograph staged by the dark side to the great hall
17 dollars: new names and new lives

[chorus + instrumental]

[verse 3]
on your grandfather’s u+boat the great war seemed distant
deep below the surface in the summertime
but those 16 torpedoes weren’t there for nothing
when the lincoln came into view and good remy
yelled “fire!”

[chorus + instrumental]

[outro]
not even a fight in the north atlantic
what were you doing when you heard of the plight?
did you choose a side of soft remy
soft eyes and stop thinking about the sinking
of the president lincoln
