This track was born out of a riff which Flo came up with. It's about an episode in John's life where he and a mate got extremely drunk and decided they were going to sail around the world...
lyrics
PIRATES
Twenty five, divorced, looking for a recourse
Buy a boat, sail away, no time for remorse
Live, work, eat, drink, sleep, f**k, rethink
Planning on travelling while I'm unravelling
Sell up, sell out, no concessions, imagine no possessions
It's easy advice, an idea for life, the future is bright
A taste of Paradise
Oh as we sail round the islands on the voyage of a lifetime
On the wine-coloured ocean, we'll be drunk as pirates
Of the Caribbean, or the Aegean or just the drunks in the park

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
