Steve Kilbey - Aquanaut lyrics

rate me

Max Sharp was an aquanaut

With the gills and fin

Especially bred for the oceany bed

Waterproof head and skin

Going down to the submarine town

20 fathoms deep

Whoever thought a man breathin' water

I wonder if there's trouble with the bubbles when he sleeps

Mermaids in underwater glades

Playing with electric eels

Deep sea shock of Davey Jones' Lock[er]

Rockin' from his head to his heels

One was quite a dish but she was half a fish

If only, he wished she had legs

I guess he saw her, hooked on Neptune's daughter

Now they're expecting their first eggs

Max Sharp was an aquanaut

With the fins and gills

He swims where he pleases in the seven seas

Jesus, what a thrill

But the Navy boys with the sonar noise

Sailing in the tubs of tin

Got him with torpedoes in the back of his Speedos

Holy Toledo, that was the end of him
