Ah, Rum.
This page is for extras, of sorts, and until I have time to put something more interesting up, here are two Pirate songs you've no doubt heard of... [For interests sake, parts of Yo Ho and Pirates Life that have particular significance to POTC (that is, beyond being sung in the movie) are in bold... It's prolly fairly obvious, but try to figure out how they be connected... arr.
Aright. I have a plan. I'm going to get some images and stuff, make a few wallpapers (Bwahahaahaah, I love Paint Shop Pro), make a few... of those.. chibbi... cartoon... things... and all that jazz.
I think I'll run a fanfiction section as well. It's all very very exciting, so keep checking back!
There should be some sort of rational explanation of stuff in 24 hours or so. Because right now I'm dreadfully tired and am quite aware that planning anything now would ultimately result in the destruction of the entire southern hemisphere, which is, I am told, a bad thing.
[I know many songs about Pirates, lass, but none I'd be teaching to a child!]
A Pirate's Life For Me
We're devils and black sheep
and really bad eggs
Drink up me 'earties Yo ho!
Yo Ho, Yo ho
A Pirate's life for me
Yes, I daresay you do recognise that song..
Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise All souls bound just contrawise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
