was he fading to Borrego in his last?
wasn't Tapit's final quarter very fast?
was The Cliff's Edge final quarter faster still?
or did the Irish in "The Castle" fit the bill?
would the Gone West speed in Lime House match his fire?
and douse him down before he found the wire?

Now that day there was a great demand for sail-li-ors
From the colonies, from 'Frisco and from France
So I shipped aboard a Limey barque "The Hotspur"
And got paralytic drunk on my advance

He shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Arctic Sea
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow and Jamaica rum would freeze
Alas I had no luck with me gear, for I'd spent all me money ashore
'Twas then that I wished that I was dead of safe with the girls ashore

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

I know this takes some believin
I met a group of creatures
With the strangest lookin features
A poor old dog with a worm and a weed
A fine old pigeon, yes indeed
Then daddy-long-legs jumped up sprightly
And danced a reel to the flickerin light.

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn

Du, du, du - looking out my backdoor.

And since that day I've not forgot it;
For I know the figure that she's got,
And the shop at which she got it!
Oh! Missis Brown,
Bumptious Missis Brown!
Remember I have seen her in
Her little dressing gown.
If you think her figure's real,
Talk about a "skinny eel!"
Just you come to tea with me
And Missis Brown.

In 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry.
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
And the marks of our letters were heavy
In the rusty iron chains we signed for our wanes
Our women we left there in sorrow
As the main sails unfurled, our cares we hurled
At the English and the thoughts of tomorrow

For three long years I was beastly treated,
and heavy irons on my legs I wore.
My back from flogging was lacerated
and oft times painted with my crimson gore.
And many a man from downright starvation
lies moldering now underneath the clay.
And Captain Logan he had us mangled
at the triangles of Moreton Bay.

Watch them jugs a-filling
