the shining lady jean - marc gunn lyrics
a man i met in london town
proposed a thing to me—
he offered me a brand new ship
but not to sail the sea
he wanted me to soar the skies
in his ship the lady jean
an air ship—can you ‘magine that?—
with a shining bronzy sheen
she’d an engine run by hissing steam
and her sails were sheets of tin
that turned to catch the rising winds
with cogs, and gears, and gin
her crew it was a motley lot
a mix of tars and science
but pirates all beneath our coats
and bent on self*reliance
we’d sidle up all silеnt*like—
well, with a hissing lot of steam—
and drop upon our targеts
from ropes ties to the beam
they never saw us coming
and we razed a lot of gold
sometimes so d*mn successful
that we over*filled the hold
we’d drop down on the lassies
and we’d scoop them up for fun
we’d ply them with the best of gin
and poke ‘em with our guns
ah, the lady jean was a bonny ship
though i missed the irish stout
i’m sure i’d be sailing on her still…
if the gin had not run out
oh, come and sail the open skies
upon the lady jean
she’s the trimmest ship you’ll ever see
a pirate’s soaring dream
a man i met in london town
proposed a thing to me—
he offered me a brand new ship
but not to sail the sea
he wanted me to soar the skies
in his ship the lady jean
an air ship—can you ‘magine that?—
with a shining bronzy sheen
oh, come and sail the open skies
upon the lady jean
she’s the trimmest ship you’ll ever see
a pirate’s soaring dream
oh, come and sail the open skies
upon the lady jean
she’s the trimmest ship you’ll ever see
a pirate’s soaring dream
