Rotten Town(Album Version) - Ludo

作词：Andrew Volpe

作曲：Andrew Volpe

'Twas quite the inky black night

All the weather vanes were turning

And the constable was burning out his light

When low

our anchors went down barnacle bound

The men were up and churning

Yes and soon the square was burning to the

ground

And oh the flames were as gold

I scowl at the angry moon

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town

It's been a fortnight or two

The mutineers were plotting against the

captain as I'm rotting in the goo

The constable was set to drown

while the shabby scabs that went to town

were reconnoitering with blades and gun

But the ale had started spilling

Yes and soon the crew was killing everyone

And all the streets burned with gold

But all my bones were so cold

I scowl at the angry moon

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town

I still walk

down the harbor to the tavern on the square

And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang

From some foul inebriates

Some men i used to call my mates

Were lost in song and this is what they sang

They sang

Hey hi yo ho O'er the Atlantic we go

Drinking 'till we all get sick

And coming up with limericks

But we never quite remember how they end

I can see my childhood home

I think of my dear old mum

What have I become

I scowl at the angry moon

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick on myself I'm a bum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town (I scowl at the angry moon)

I am sick in a barrel of rum

What have I become

A drunken maroon run aground

In this rotten town
