The Pirate Breeze

Post by **Lightning Rod** » January 16th, 2009, 2:31 pm

I inhale the pirate breeze
I am the king of the well intended
and the ill equipped, the vagabond captain
there is always a pirate breeze under my flag

the rose spins profligate
thorns singing in the wind
my ship is fleet and the high seas
write their own rules

my poetic license was revoked years ago.
my permit to assemble was not approved
my driver's driver's card has been suspended
my license to steal lapsed for lack of use

only thing I have left is my license to kill
or be killed

I inhale the pirate breeze
salt and treasure, salt and treasure
at the pleasure of the privateer
I inhale the pirate breeze

in a buchaneer's cadence
I wouldn't rob you with a pencil
only at gunpoint, stand
deliver

I inhale the pirate breeze
salt and treasure, salt and treasure
at the pleasure of the privateer
I inhale the pirate breeze

cec, here's the only pirate tune I've ever written

it's called Clipper Suite

sorry, this is strictly the songwriter's version
pardon the sloppy guitar and I'm trying to sing the horn parts

worked for me after i hit refresh
and i love it!

reminds me of dancing vinyl under a needle
when i was still very young and lay
under an incense sky of dreams

panta,

many of my recordings sound like antiques

I knew you would be a sucker for the maritime theme

you are such an ocean lady

(can you juggle underwater?)

sure; look here - i'm just about to take out my pins from behind the gorgonia curtain and start the great show!

(that's a pirate ship wreck in the background, of course!)

I love this picture panta
two pins in the air
and your face is the very image of zen focus
beautiful

yeah
zen-focused especially in the upper pic
trying to keep my eyes above water...

thanks, clay!
