Down With the Ship

[Intro]
I'd like to have a big hand for my brother Christopher on the fiddle
I haven’t seen him since last Christmas
So, you know, we had a little rehearsal here this afternoon and
Taught him a few new songs, and (You're not supposed to tell 'em)
I’ve seen too much of this brother, though
This is Jeff Hardy on the bass
(Moose! Moose!) Alias "Moose"
We're modeling the, the uh, Hardy tartan tonight
It's for sale after the show
Get a commission on all sales from the Scottish government

[Verse 1]
As we sat in the kitchen, the radio blaring
News of a ship lost at sea
And I thought of my friend who was out there somewhere
Living out all his fantasies
But it's not all that often the news touches us
It always happens to somebody else
But in the light of the few who create all the news
We are forced to look at ourselves

[Chorus]
And we're all in the same boat together
And we're all goin' down with the ship
But when we go down in that deep, deep blue
I'd love to go down with you
I’d love to go down with you

[Verse 2]
Though the hunger is real we are not from the hungry
So we turn all our hunger inside
And "Oh, I have suffered with those I saw suffer"
And Shakespeare was never outside
So cry in your pillow, your plaster is chipped
And your paint, it is ugly and brown
And your good friend has left on a sailing ship
And you hope to hell he ain’t drowned

[Chorus]
And we're all in the same boat together
And we’re all goin' down with the ship
But when we go down in that deep, deep blue
I'd love to go down with you
I'd love to go down with you

[Verse 3]
There’s a cat in the toaster, there's toast in my shoes
This chaos is loaded with lies
In the era of "Nolle navem agitare"
(Which is Latin for "Don't rock the boat")
Abandon has dreams by its side
And the table is set with the dregs of the wine
The loaf set next to the knife
And back in the days when the stakes weren't so high
We were never afraid of life (Everybody)

[Chorus]
And we're all in the same boat together
And we're all goin' down with the ship
But when we go down in that deep, deep blue
I'd love to go down with you
I'd love to go down with you (Sing it to the person next to you)
And we're all in the same boat together
And we're all goin' down with the ship
But when we go down in that deep, deep blue
I'd love to go down with you
I'd love to go down with you
I'd love to go down with you
I'd love to go down with you
