lyrics

My tools are in the bow of my boat
hooks and worms, rods and lines
The fish are out in the great white sea
rowing out, to make them mine
I've got a wife and two children to fee
Got no dough, to pay for bread
So I'm heading out on the great white sea
To make sure my familys fed

My father was a fisherman
and his father was before
we are men of superstition and lore
the sea is a cruel master
luck must be, on you're side
you must beg the moon for its consent
in keeping down the tide

Waves crashing, winds roaring, skies wailing, rains pouring
it took all of my strenght just to pull in the net
and what I saw then I'll never forget
A lobster as white as the sun is bright
a glimmer of beauty in the darkest night
superstition kicked in, and stories from the past
killing it is a curse but its value is vast

I used to tie a knot around a jagged hook
and use a live worm as bait
I was starving and so were the fish
So I'd just sit and wait
yes I sold the lobster
freed myself from poverty
now the hook is around my lip
I'm being reeled in by the great white sea

It's calling me down to answer fro my crimes
driving me mad by biding its time
it cannot lose, for it is much to vast
it wants to make my suffering last
the pull of the ocean, is driving me wild
wants me to stand trial for its murdered child
and I did go and now I see
I'm in a little rowboat but it looks like hell for me

Street Meat Montréal, Québec

Street Meat was cooked up when three Montreal street musicians casually decided to band together and teach each other their repertoire while busking. Much to their surprise (who would hire a street musician?), gigs of all kinds started rolling in. Seeing this, Paul, Jean-Phillippe and Lucas decided to become more than bums with instruments and thus the Street Meat was served, spiced to perfection ... more
