Man O' War

Waded out into the tide
Stung by jellyfish & died
Left a wife & child behind
Ages 36 & 9.

Christmas morning pictures fading tinsel glare
Kim how long you gonna stare

Never sleep without a light
Hate aquariums alright
Older boyfriends all your life
& Usually they have a wife

Blame yourself blame your mother blame the sea
Blame a lover blame psychiatry
To never know what kind of man your father'd be
How you'd wished he'd kept a diary
