Sitting in the van,
drinking Bluebird right from the bottle,
Fire’s outside,
And a party like a masquerade,
I am sitting here,
Like the eye inside a hurricane,
Finding empty holes again,
Filling them with rum and distant thunder.
Through two walls and a van door I am
Feeling far from anything,
Ironically I’m closer than I’ve
been in years to you.
You don’t know that I’m here
and if I get to have my way that will
never change it'll stay that way and
I’ll drink myself to sleep,
And far away from here,
As my pirates drink their rum well I will
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her
Clutch the neck of glass
as the rings are shining by the fire,
Take another swig
and feel my problems burn away,
Layin' in the corner,
A husky puppy for a parrot,
As Crimespree plays Parasite,
And it fills me with love and distant thunder,
Through two walls and a van door I am
feeling far from anything,
Ironically I’m closer than I’ve
been in years to you.
You don’t know that I’m here and if I
get to have my way that will
never change it'll stay that way,
and I’ll drink myself to sleep,
And far away from here,
Well as my pirates drink their rum well I will
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her.
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her.
Frankly Lost is a rogue personality fronting a slowly-ever-growing band of misfits making highly energetic and earnest DIY
music that feels somewhere between fringey singer-songwriter Art and ska-punk. Following in the tradition of American Folk music, their works are musically and lyrically simple, charged with emotion, and inspired by acts such as Erik Petersen’s Mischief Brew and Frank Turner....more
I've made music with these guys before, and will likely do so again soon. They're a great group of dudes, tons of fun live, and I like this album a lot. Hoping to hear more from them soon. Frankly Lost
Before I started recording music in a van, I was recording in a basement. That's where I recorded this excellent folk-punk EP for Jonny Bear. He's a great friend and a rad musician. Frankly Lost
Post-addiction introspection, the scorn of the heartbroken, and a rippin' bouncy mandolin. Get angry, be hurt, smile a lot, and definitely shout along with your stereo. It'll get stuck in your head. Frankly Lost
supported by 9 fans who also own “Ship in a Bottle”
A timeless album from one of the all time folk punk greats. I am so grateful for Pat the Bunny having blessed mine and so many other's with their music! This album will always be here for me. junehenryfan4lyfe
