Song Fight entry for April 27 2022.

lyrics

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life and how he got into some strife
On the deck of a submarine

Two bombs had punched their way into her
But miraculously didn't blow
They were wedged between both hulls
Like a bullet to the skull
How would they get them out? God only knows

And she was long hard and full of seamen
Hey that's not funny - there were close to sixty souls
Lying surfaced in unfriendly waters
She was the H.M.S. Thrasher
A tale of claustrophobia and luck
Things were looking pretty far from normal

Roberts said "I'm game if you are"
He and Gould went through the hatch
Twenty feet they had to crawl
Dragging sacks of massive balls
In complete darkness and on their backs

Meanwhile the enemy kept searching
To avenge Thrasher's martial deeds
At any time if they'd been found
Both our heroes would be drowned
As she dived into the pitch black sea

And she was long hard and full of seamen
Hey that's not funny - there were close to sixty souls
Lying surfaced in unfriendly waters
She was the H.M.S. Thrasher
A tale of claustrophobia and luck
They were nought but sitting ducks

But she was long hard and full of seamen
That's still not funny - there were close to sixty souls
Lying surfaced in unfriendly waters
She was the H.M.S. Thrasher
A tale of claustrophobia and luck
When things were looking pretty far from normal

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life and how he got into some strife
On the deck of a submarine
