Barnacled Warship Chords by Luke Williams e-mail: Please listen to the song for timing of chord switches my chord placement is not in time with the lyrics Ha. Ha. Ha. Tuning: standard baby Gotta get out gotta shout gotta sing Gotta dance gotta jump gotta run        Think I’ll fight a war I don’t know what for But I’ll learn when I get my gun             Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed   Open book thoughts and a new religion Burning through my head Burning through my head   Made my way with the fusiliers   I even fought my way back home            But the front line shifted and my rifle got lifted Had to fight the war on my own               Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed   Water downtown gave me cold cold fingers And my feet were made of lead My feet were made of lead I’ll just eat fruit on your doorstep I’ll just drink pailfulls of rain I’m but a barnacled warship Singing the fighter’s refrain Singing the fighter’s Made my way with the Salvation Army Take them on with a tambourine         I’ll strike down sinners like the old gunslingers Smooth ’em out like margerine     Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed       Open book thoughts and a new religion Burning through my head Burning through my head Went to the gambling shop today They had me five to one                Heard a voice behind me say                Put down the Bible and pick up your gun Well I left home three days ago I feel like going to bed   Water downtown gave me cold cold fingers And my feet were made of lead My feet were made of lead I’ll just eat fruit on your doorstep I’ll just drink pailfulls of rain I’m but a barnacled warship Singing the fighter’s refrain Singing the fighter’s

La chanson évoque un voyage intérieur, celui d'un personnage qui s'engage dans un combat dont il ne comprend pas totalement les raisons. Il ressent une poussée irrésistible à se battre, malgré la fatigue qui le taraude depuis qu'il a quitté son chez-soi. À travers ses pensées désordonnées, il lutte avec des idées nouvelles qui brûlent dans son esprit, tout en réalisant que la réalité du conflit doit être affrontée seul. Dans ce parcours, il fait référence à la lutte entre l'ancien et le nouveau, sa quête d'identité et sa marginalité, symbolisée par son image de navire barnacé, marqué par les épreuves. Ce mélange d’images de guerre, de spiritualité, et de solitude crée un tableau poignant d’un individu en quête de sens dans un monde chaotique.
