Mayday Mayday
The captain lost control again
The fucking ship is breaking up
We're going down in flames

Mayday Mayday
Man overboard again
The sharks already circling
They only eat the brave
The SS death lost everything
No-one here can fucking swim
So baby baby hold me tight
While I drown myself in you tonight

Mayday Mayday
The ship has hit the rocks again
This isn't going to fucking work
We're heading to our graves

Mayday Mayday
The captain's lost his way
We're sinking in the river sticks
No-one can escape

Ladies and Gentlemen
May I have your attention please
This is the captain of your ship
I'm sorry we deport this way
You left me broken hearted
But I never loved you anyway

    General Comment:i think its about this ship that goes out of the captains control and some people get eaten up by sharks and some drown. but it turns out in the end that the captain didnt really like the ship and was just sinking it to get the insurance money but while he was going away in his dingy he felt sorry for the passengers gettin munched by sharks and she appologizes then feels better and goes back to counting his money

    General Comment:I can see the whole relationship breaking down thing but I think in todays world, this "can" be talking about the world economic meltdown.

    Anyone agree with me there?

    General Comment:It's sticks, i check the CD sleeve, i doubt gallows often read greek mythology...

    And yes it's about a relationship... what are you on, a commercial subject? Relationships happen alot... They can write about what the fuck they want...

    And the divorce song, i believe that is six years, about some guy fucking over their mum...

    "Gallows said themselves that one of there songs are about divorce and frank and steph have both been divorced."

    the songs about divorce are about frank and steph's parents divorce, six years ago (hence, six years)
