Airship Pirates & Giant Octopusses, in Abney Park's tribute to Georges Méliès
Added 2018-03-22 19:09:09 +0000 UTCAbney Park's new song, and music video will launch tomorrow, but since your Special VIP Patrons, you get it today!
"We're Going Down"
The captain goes down with his ship,
But this captain is bailing fast.
if I don't we'll all take a dip,
And this trip ain't gunna last.
The bilge is filling with water,
And the sea is all crashing in.
But as captain, I think I've got her,
'Cause this boat is filled with my kin!
We're going down, down, and this boat is sinking!
Down, Down, salt water we're drinking!
Down, Down, and this boat is sinking,
And this boat is going down!
I see fishes swim past the porthole,
water is pouring down stairs,
And the face on the tin of tobacco,
Floats by and saltily glares.
But just as I start to go hopeless,
Just as I give in to remorse,
The hull of the ship hits soft sand,
"Down" is no longer our course!
For the tide is gently receding,
beach us long enough to repair,
And then we'll sail off to the sunset,
Hand and hand, our journey is fair!
We're going down, down, and this boat is sinking!
Down, Down, salt water we're drinking!
Down, Down, and this boat is sinking,
And this boat is going down!
Go and post good comments, and give it thumbs up!

Nice! I like how you still found time for a few swigs throughout. But if I may: who is the girl gliding past the crew around 1:33? It was somewhat spooky. :)

2018-03-23 03:21:39 +0000 UTCLoved the song. That cloud effect during most of the video got annoying very fast. At the beginning when zooming in to the ship was fine, once seeing the crew, it was just distracting in a bad way.
