lyrics

get off your feet and join the fleet, leave concrete
take up a seat, don't skip a beat
become a rower

trade your hardship in for a hard ship
tt's not a quip, take a skip across the landing strip
get a grip, don't let it slip and let loose of the whip

no time for blues on this lifelong cruise
just booze abuse and matching tattoos
‘cause i’m a rower

as luck would have it we're not lacking in merit
dashing stewards of slavery and quite eager to share it
grab and seize all you can carry to that creed I do commit
then run to the ships, run to the ships, run

i pull my oar and then I pull some more
’til I'm red and stiff and sore
salt in my every pore
on wooden walls
in our beds of pine
with falling oars
we keep our time

fast to the east, speed does increase in such a bliss
towards the haven of our hopes or the abyss

callused hands, feet had i not been so callous
leaving my whole family now i’m all chained up like alice
in the belly of a big black beast of burden on my body and my soul
whipmaster shouts you're naught the ship is all

days on end days don't end cause we never go to sleep
i must contend and never bend, a rower's life's pretty cheap
i got the short end of a big stick that i gotta haul
the master shouts you're naught the ship is all

about

Moon Unit Zagreb, Croatia

Coming from an underground black market filled with strange mammals, oddly shaped vegetables and elderly store owners, where sounds of old cars and delivery vans inspire you to make music like this. Improbable stories, dubious sound palette and songs that are way too long and hard to memorize properly, all this and more, on our debut album “Differences in Language and Lifestyle”. ... more
