The Admiral by The White Whale Lyrics
Oh, the crime you always could commit
Was ignoring the ones that forced you to admit
That you never got along
Until there came a song
And nary a one among them was a hit
Then Admiral Yummyman came in without his ship
Pointing out to everyone his upper lip
Saying, "I don't believe I've been
With anyone I'd call a friend
They just stole me and returned me as they saw fit"
But don't worry, mate, tonight we celebrate
Well, don't be such a fright
And who throws parties like these anymore?
Did they not go out of fashion before the war?
And while the cocktails were being mixed
The partygoers eyes were fixed
On the admiral who had wrestled the host to the floor
And the chairs and the tables about the room
You decided upon yourself it was time to prove
If somebody likes your song
You were fit enough to break the law
So you broke it and broke it and broke it 'til she didn't move
Sitting alone, now you're on your own
Under the night, waiting for the light
Yes, waiting, remembering her eyes
Her eyes
Oh the crime that you always could commit
Was ignoring the ones that forced you to admit
That you never got along
Until there came a song
And nary a one among them was a hit
Oh the crime you always could commit
Oh the crime you always could commit
Was ignoring the ones that forced you to admit
That you never got along
Until there came a song
And nary a one among them was a hit
Then Admiral Yummyman came in without his ship
Pointing out to everyone his upper lip
Saying, "I don't believe I've been
With anyone I'd call a friend
They just stole me and returned me as they saw fit"
But don't worry, mate, tonight we celebrate
Well, don't be such a fright
And who throws parties like these anymore?
Did they not go out of fashion before the war?
And while the cocktails were being mixed
The partygoers eyes were fixed
On the admiral who had wrestled the host to the floor
And the chairs and the tables about the room
You decided upon yourself it was time to prove
If somebody likes your song
You were fit enough to break the law
So you broke it and broke it and broke it 'til she didn't move
Sitting alone, now you're on your own
Under the night, waiting for the light
Yes, waiting, remembering her eyes
Her eyes
Oh the crime that you always could commit
Was ignoring the ones that forced you to admit
That you never got along
Until there came a song
And nary a one among them was a hit
Oh the crime you always could commit
Oh the crime you always could commit
