Jethro Tull - The Whaler's Dues Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Money speaks. soft hearts lose. the truth only whispers.
  • Its the whalers dues.
  • Ive been running on diesel. been running on coal.
  • Running on borrowed time, if truths to be told.
  • Two whales in the ocean, cruising the night
  • Search for each other before we turn out their light.
  • Been accused of deep murder on the north atlantic swell
  • But I have three hungry children and a young wife as well.
  • And behind stand generations of hard hunting men
  • Who raised a glass to the living, and went killing again.
  • Are you with me?
  • Money speaks, soft hearts lose. the truth only whispers.
  • Now pay the whalers dues.
  • Can you forgive me?
  • Now Im old and I sit land-locked in a back-country jail
  • To reflect on all of my sins and the death of the whale.
  • Send me back down the ages. put me to sea once again
  • When the oceans were full --- yes, and men would be men.
  • Can you forgive me?
