(alt. subject: "who am i?")

I shall quote a lyric, and explain it right underneath it.
“At the bottom of the ocean
There's a sea king, he was my king”
There was heavy fog. They’re easy things to lose control of… And they are respectable things, given what they do. Their size, too. Yes, I suppose they could be considered... "kingly"...

“He was so proud, diamonds in his crown
He was so proud, always so proud”
Well, yeh know. It had helped save many many lives...

“Sea king, sea king, can't you see
That you're so silly”
I mean, in the UK they paint you yellow!

“And without love you won't get far”
you need to love to be able to rescue someone.

“Gold and glitter was bubbling all around him”
That yellow was mighty bright!

“pearls in his crown”
Ah. These refer to the reward and the happiness that he got from all those rescues…

“It was all he ever knew
All he ever knew
And that's sad”
he was bought specifically for search and rescue. Imagine if he had been used by the navy! such a different life he would've led!


Thus I have come to the conclusion that the song is actually about... *drum roll...*









(specifically RAF search and rescue, by the way).

there's always one... there's always one, isn't there? *shakes head* Laughing


do you know the amount of thought that went into this thread? it took me, like, at least one carry tray (so that's 18 pots) of frits (so that's 3 per pot) worth of time to think up and devise! that's like, 30 mins.

But not really. only 3 pots or something. Laughing

you all just have to rub it in every time it comes up dont you? Every time it gets cold now I think to myself, "It sure would be nice to have a blue Eisley hoodie. Too bad my fellow fans left me high and dry." you all owe me a hoodie! ..well...I guess it was my fault for leaving it in the first place...I almost asked what's his name at the merch booth a month later at the tulsa show if they found one, but I'm sure they sold it by then because they went west coast to the madness over there. But they did have a lot more older shirts/posters at the Tulsa show. A lot I had never seen or even heard about. There was a brown Sherri...Tree??...shirt, some old pins (I think) and some really old mosseisley shirts and merch (okay I lie about that last one one). All the shirts by then were mostly all Large and ^ so I just stuck with the posters and a older black teeshirt (got the last small (I just like to tell myself it was the last, I really have no idea if it was)).

anyways....
Sea King. Good song. Fake story. We all should know that Sherri and Stacy lie to all of us by now.
