This song adapts brief passages of Frank’s narration from the second, third and fourth chapters of the novel. “My greatest enemies…” becomes a motif that returns later in the opera.
Two years after I killed Blyth, I murdered my young brother Paul for a quite different and more fundamental reason. A year after that, my young cousin Esmeralda. She was my final victim.
That's my score - three. (x2)
I haven't killed anybody for years, and I don't intend to.
It was just a phase that I was going through.
[Refrain]
My greatest enemies are women and the sea.
These things I hate.
The bomb circle, my dad's lame leg and his stick, the candles in the skull, and the legions of dead mice and hamsters.
All the fault of Agnes, my father's second wife and my mother.
I can't remember my mother, because if I did I'd hate her.
As it is, I hate her name. I hate the idea of her.
[Refrain]
My greatest enemies are women and the sea.
These things I hate.
