The Fisherman Of Ephesus - Jethro Tull

 The Fisherman Of Ephesus

Jethro Tull


Lyrics:

[Acts 5:40-42]

 

Ten set out along the rocky road

To suffer for their saintly sins

The great betrayer gone missing

Having topped himself or split his skin

Now, the young beloved one

Last son of father Zebedee

Comes to the town of Ephesus

To spin the lure and reel them in

 

Casts a line, sits waiting quietly

For the telltale nibble to reveal

The passing curiosity

The inner need, the faint appeal

Sings sweetly for his supper

Sings of miracles and fairy tales

Of barley loaves and two small fish

Of barley loaves and two small fish

To make, for multitudes, a meal

 

Fisherman of Ephesus

Surveys the spirits' battleground

Flag was flown, a story told

Of crucifix and thorny crown

Hard to go on living

With the guilt of chance survival

All alone to fall from sky

Crash landing on arrival

To walk again the rocky road

No martyrdom to comfort

Wait out the years to join the ten

In fairytale revival

 

The test of Poison cup

A little boiling oil along the way

On isle of Artemis to toil

Write memoirs at the end of day

Then back to lie in Ephesus

Along amongst the dozen

As harbour slowly suffocates

And the catch has swum far away

 

Fisherman of Ephesus:

Did he know the fate of others?

Their sticky end, the harsh rebuttal

He alone without his brothers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Letra:

[Hechos 5:40-42]

 

Diez partieron por el camino pedregoso

Para sufrir por sus santos pecados

El gran traidor desaparecido

Habiéndose rematado o partido la piel

Ahora, el joven amado

Último hijo del padre Zebedeo

Llega a la ciudad de Éfeso

Para lanzar el señuelo y enrollarlos

 

Lanza un señuelo, se sienta esperando en silencio

Para que el mordisco revelador aparezca

La curiosidad pasajera

La necesidad interior, el débil atractivo

Canta dulcemente para preparar su cena

Canta sobre milagros y cuentos de hadas

De panes de cebada y dos pececillos

De panes de cebada y dos pececillos

Para hacer, para multitudes, una comida.

 

Pescador de Éfeso

Inspecciona el campo de batalla de los espíritus

Se ondeó la bandera, se contó una historia

De un crucifijo y una corona de espinas

Difícil es seguir viviendo

Con la culpa de la supervivencia casual

Solo para caer del cielo

Un aterrizaje forzoso a la llegada

Para recorrer de nuevo el camino rocoso

No hay martirio para consolar

Espera unos años para unirte a los diez

En el renacimiento de los cuentos de hadas

 

La prueba de la copa de veneno

Un poco de aceite hirviendo en el camino

En la isla de Artemisa para trabajar

Escribir memorias al final del día.

Luego de vuelta a mentir en Éfeso

A lo largo de la docena

Mientras el puerto se sofoca lentamente

Y la captura ha nadado lejos

 

Pescador de Éfeso:

¿Sabía el destino de los demás?

Su final pegajoso, la dura refutación

Él solo sin sus hermanos

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
