After parts of it were mentioned in the track “Wireless”, Cardiacs revisits the crazy children’s story of “Peril On The Sea” when this time they praise its main hero – An extremely fast action fish who saved a bunch of people from a drowning wooden boat.
The childish tone of the story and the song...
[Verse 1]
King of all lice
Of wood ship building
Believing that his sink is clean
But Mr Sun's too high up in sky
And the sea's far too big for drowning
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Erecting fin time
Cut through the ocean waves
[Chorus 1]
One million miles an hour
Faster than a torpedo
Morbid seas
The morbid breeds
Untidy seas
[Verse 2]
Meanwhile on the wrong side of fences
All killing and dashing of brains
Next to normal life with games and companions
Shouting too loud for him to sing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are all his blackbirds
Inside the steely metal gut of famous
[Chorus 2]
Action Fish cutting the waves
Firing hot red fire from his gills
The more we steals
The more we feels
