Cabin Fever! (2009 Digital Remaster) - Nick Cave/The Bad Seeds

The Captain's fore-arm like bunched-up rope

With A-N-I-T-A wrigglin' free on a skull'n'dagger

And a portrait of Christ nailed to an anchor

Etched into his upper

O o o o o' Cabin Fever

O o o' Cabin Fever

Slams his f**ken tin-dish down

Our Captain takes time to crush

Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel

With a lump in his throat and lumpy mush

Thumbing a scrapbook stuck up with clag

And a morbid lump of Love in his flags

Done is the Missing now all that remain

Is so sail forever upon the stain stain stain

O o' Cabin Fever O o o' Cabin Fever

Right Cabin Fever Cabin Fever

The captain's free-hand is a cleaver

Which he fashions his beard n' he rations his jerkey

And carves his peg outa the finest mahagony

Or was it Ebony

Or was it Ebony

O o o'

O o o'

Tallies up his loneliness notch by notch

'Cause the sea offers nuthin for anchor to hold or touch

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Notch by notch winter by winter

Now his leg is whittled right down to a splinter

O o Cabin Fever O o o Cabin Fever

O the rollin sea keep still rollin on

The rollin sea keep still rollin on

She's everywhere now that she's gone

She's everywhere now that she's gone

Gone Gone Gone

O Cabin Fever

Welcome to his table Beloved-Unconscious

Raisin her host of hair from her crooks

And strugglin to summony one of her looks

His arm now like coiled s-s-s-snakes

Snakes snakes snakes snakes snakes snakes snakes

Whips all the bottles that he's drunken

Like crystal - skittles about the cabin

Of a ship they'd been sailing

Of a ship they'd been sailing

Of a ship they'd been sailing

Five years sunken

O five years sunken
