Текст песни: My Uncle's Navy + перевод

There’s memories I’d pay to remove

I’d cut them out myself if that were possible

The kind you cry yourself blind about

The kind that choke you out

Choke you out

Had an uncle who was not by blood

Liked to scare all the little girls away

And if you’re tenderhearted you should stop the tape

Snap the tape

He pulled the heads off of garter snakes

I cried so helpless for those silent creatures

You know I cried so hard I pissed myself

Twistin' away from the horror

In the tarpit sea

Memories wear thick coats

The kind that pull you down

But in refusin' to drown

You’re choked into the shape

Of a sailor

A sailor

Deputized by the cruel god of children

No running water in his soul, just a hole

That echoed when he’d call your name from down the hall

His name was a command that cuts the ears off fightin' dogs

Then wipes the knife on his militia pants

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

And he’s braggin' all the while

«If I say that black is blue it’s blue, black is blue if I say it is»

«Black is blue, black is blue if I say it is»

I never wondered what made him that way

Bullies are not born, they’re pressed into a form

And I hated those who gave him access to our days

The ones who did nothin'

I still can’t love them

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

In the tarpit sea

Memories wear thick coats

The kind that pull you down

But in refusin' to drown

You’re choked into the shape

Of a sailor

A sailor

A sailor

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh

Mercurochrome and merthiolate stains, oh
