This Ship Is Sinking

about

“es gente con la cual a uno le gusta a veces sentarse y sentirse también un pobre diablo, y ponerse
alegre entre lágrimas, y decir por las buenas, con los ojos cargados y los vasos vacíos, y con tristeza
no del todo desagradable: «¡Basta ya, Sub-Subs! ¡Pues cuanto más os esforcéis en complacer al
mundo, más seguiréis para siempre sin recibir agradecimiento!». ¡Ojalá pudiera yo dejar libres para
vosotros Hampton Court y las Tullerías! Pero tragaos las lágrimas y arriba los corazones, hasta el
mastelero de sobrejuanete; pues vuestros amigos, que han partido antes, están dejando libres los
cielos con sus siete círculos, y exiliando ante vuestra venida a Gabriel, Miguel y Rafael, tanto tiempo
mimados. ¡Aquí sólo tocáis reunidos corazones rotos; allí entrechocaréis vasos que no se pueden
romper!” (Moby Dick / H. Melville)

lyrics

Hold tight 'til I clean these stains
I think there's something coming up through my veins
Every word on your speech
Hides something dark that I can't reach
I have never felt so tough
Tenacious feelings on my mind will break my cuffs
Spent sleepless the night before
I will meet you at the pub by four
Nobody's counting on me anymore

As opposed to my life in the old bachelor's flat
I'll be dying in my treason with the only friend I know
With the pint in my hand and the sorrow in my heart
I'm still not ending this pub crawl
No one leaves the bar until London calls

Are you there yet, Innoccent?
Did you start feeling the regret?
All the times you've been crying I drank all those tears
Let's celebrate it with another beer
This is the day to get rid of your fears

And I've been crying since that day
Only to tell myself that I couldn't bear
All this sorrow when no one hears
No one's here
