Yo Ho

Now this is something I can't quit for the rest of my life.. writing (rather typing) my thoughts which could I could never perfectly.. uhm.. elaborate? No, that's not the word.. someone please shoot me a message if you manage to see it from the tip of my tongue..

Anyway.. what catalyst brings me back here.. actually I was planning on resuming this endeavor (as you might have noticed whoever lost spirit you are that I was somehow gradually reinventing the looks of this page) but without a definite commitment from my brain which is daily being tortured by some people from the other side of the world. I wish I was Davey Jones who could turn them into a bunch of walking undead squids.

Speaking of Mr Jones (shalala lalala), I recently saw the third installment of Pirates of the Carribean (as everybody most probably did). It was okay, if I am to rate all the Pirates movies, the first one would be top on my list and the second is last; that is in terms of fun factor. Regarding 'At World's End,' what caught my attention is how it captured the grim.. uhm.. faith of Lord Beckett's prey of his pirates witch hunt. Pirates / pirates sympathizers falling in line waiting their turn to see the hangman; then suddenly a boy which is waiting for his turn on the rope, begin uttering the pirate song, then the man beside him started to sing as well, until all the rest of the prisoners on the line are chanting their last hurrah before facing death. The scene and the sober melody of the song projects a serious and dark theme.. in which the movie is not. Curiously I searched for the lyrics and I found it from this website, and I pasted below:


YO HO (A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME)
Lyrics by Xavier Atencio and music by George Bruns

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Aren't the words nice? Yo ho!
