    Story Behind the Song
    This was the 3rd or 4th song that G.O.D. wrote. It has evolved from its original state and prolly will continue to do so.

    Lyrics
    Me on the Sea

    when i was a little boy i played along the shores
    i skipped rocks in the water, and didnt do me chores
    my childhood was mostly spent looking out to sea
    all the troubles back on land, didnt bother me
    thinking of the future, it was freedom i desired
    so when i came of age i applied and i was hired
    I began my work on a fishing boat with a 4 man crew
    on thursday we set sail to travel the ocean blue
    --------------------------------------------
    the first few days were hard, bein' the new hand
    they made me sort crabs and clean off all the sand
    well i sure wasnt the strongest of the crew
    but when there was work, Christ, I'd see it through
    the captain would often times praise my hard work
    and gimme a glass of stout to make me spirits perk
    cuz when im happy i can work ten times as hard
    and by then i can lift a 10 thousand pound barge
    ----------------------------------------------

    While We're Fishing For Bass...
    We Get Drunk Off Our Ass!
    While We're Fishing For Bass...
    We Get Drunk Off Our Ass!
    ----------------------------------------------
    one day in july the wind started roaring
    and the captain he told us all to TAKE WARNING!!
    the wind she picked up and the waves they crashed down
    and our little ship, she was tossed round and round
    Al, the first mate, was struck hard by a wave
    and he fell off the ship to a watery grave
    now it was just roger, the captain and me
    as we tried to fight off the wrath of the sea
    -----------------------------------------------
    well we faught it hard, like a trucker fights sleep
    but to our dismay the ship hit a reef
    Roger was thrown hard into the mast
    and it broke the poor man right in half
    well now it was just the old captain and I
    and by the look of the captain we surely would die
    didnt seem to notice the force of the waves
    he just stood at the wheel a tear on his face
    -------------------------------------------------
    well the creepiest thing ever happened right then
    it now makes me question the minds of all men
    the captain he looked me straight in the eye
    winked, jumped ship and ended his life
    now i was alone and all my fight it had left
    so i curled up in a ball and huddld on deck
    must have been there an hour, semed like a day
    then all of a sudden the storm blew way
    -------------------------------------------------
    (Drunken Singalong chorous part 2)
    Though Their Lives Had All Past...
    I'm Still Drunk Off My Ass!
    Though Their Lives Had All Past...
    I'm Still Drunk Off My Ass!
    -------------------------------------------------
    I was blown off the reef and the hull was intact
    so i sailed for home my body all hacked
    when i reached port i told all the news
    went to the pub and baught me some booze
    i drank so much booze and got so damned pissed
    stumbled out the door to my fabulous ship
    as the last living member of the small crew
    I'll sail the ship as my own and start new
    -------------------------------------------------
    the captain would want me to continue his quest
    to catch all the fish and become the best
    i faught the ocean once and it i did beat
    fight a thousand times more, and never retreat
    and it might be pride or insanity
    but the ocean best learn to respect me
    ill be the best captain the world has met
    catch millions of fish with one giant net
    ------------------------------------------------
    freedom it cannot be found through yer friends
    freedoms not money not dollars or cents
    freedoms not houses whether its 1, 2 or 10
    freedoms not when yer lifes at an end
    freedoms not handed out freely by men
    freedom is found on the great blue ocean
    ------------------------------------------------
