Letra de My Uncle's Navy
There's memories I'd pay to remove I'd cut them out myself If that were possible The kind you cry yourself blind about The kind that choke you out Choke you outI had an uncle who was not by blood He loved to scare all the little girls away And if you're tender-hearted You should stop the tape Stop the tapeHe pulled the heads off of garter snakes I cried so helpless for those Silent creatures Twisting away from The horrorIn the tarpit sea Memories wear thick coats The kind that pull you down But in refusing to drown You're choked into the shape of A sailor A sailorDeputized by the cruel god of children No running water in his soul. Just a hole That echoed when he'd call your name From down the hallHis name was a command That cuts the ears off fighting dogs And wipes the knife On his militia pantsMercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, ohAnd he's braggin' all the while "If i say that black is blue, it's blue. Black is blue, if i say it is."I never wondered what made him that way Bullies are not born They are pressed into a form And I hated those who gave him access To our days The ones who did nothin' I still can't love themMercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, ohIn the tarpit sea Memories wear thick coats The kind that pull you down But in refusing to drown You're choked into the shape of A sailor A sailor A sailorMercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stans, oh Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh Mercurochrome
