Текст песни Rockhopper - Alex Edwards

rockhopper sits atop, chicks braying, "save me, save me"
red now as ever her eyes, pecking her young's crests goodbye
she gotta go, where lantern fish rumoured to be
as skuas swoop and shriek
she dives into the deep
one chin up for the brood
suddenly becomes two
porpoising in search
but rockhopper only thinks of one
both swam through gone krill until
further than ever before, wings flail in vain, afraid
through nets and wires, though hanging free said old gentoo
as gentoo bit them through
the lantern school he knew
but spoke of easy days
squid galore and shore prey
no sooner did he say
that rockhopper had to swim, as one
on an ice floe in shame, she sleeps defeated in the gaze
of an orca making chase, but for gentoo come to say, "quick this way!"
"d. jones whispered to me, why your mate left you for a new family"
at that she swam into the light, covered in oil
"well smoother the snow south with you
but while it still may far too much rests on my plume"
rockhopper cuts across currents a small catch, brought back
barely enough to fledge, not least her own feathers fed
and then from stealth sprung forward the seal at ice foot dwelt
but fast past his upswell
she rocket, she rocket, she rocketed as well
and landed hopped the cliffs, saw tall things docked with their ships
rockhopper simply stared
and from the shore they stood, beheld
a rockhopper who knew all too well
yeah rockhopper you know all, too well
