about

Inspired by a recurring nightmare and aided by a fascination with 1960s classic cult movie ‘Jason and the Argonauts’, Skeleton Crew tells the desperate story of those damned to eternal anguish.

The song starts with a one minute slide guitar dominated intro which evokes a sense of melancholy, before kicking on to the song proper, a high energy rock anthem with lyrics that tell the tale of the doomed, trapped forever in a chaotic and frenzied hell on the high waters.

lyrics

Skeleton Crew © Adrian Athy

Why did you follow me
To the waters edge did you follow your dreams
And now you're just a ghost
Now everything you’ve got to say
Gets yelled in silence washed away
Oh you’re part of the crew

Chorus We taunt the dreams of men we fight
We haunt the dreams of men at night
Until the morning breaks their hell
You’re now a shiphand of the damned
You’ve joined the skeleton crew

This ghost ship sails forever
The bones around you are bound together
Jolly Roger’s alive and well
We wash onto the rocks each night
And when I call you’ll stand and fight
Feel the pain and the cold

Chorus

You’ll never know your face again
And now despairs your only friend
You’ll learn to love the hate inside

Hydra teeth will call you back
You can’t resist it’s all you have
You can’t remember who you loved

Lazy Fifty Gisborne, New Zealand

Lazy Fifty’s music harks back to the classic rock of the 70s, enhanced with a healthy dose of funk, rocking rhythms & impressive guitar. Our name comes from the saying of a friend. When he asked you for a ‘lazy 20’ (dollars), you knew you’d never see the money again. That was a long time ago and our friend is no longer with us. In memory of him, and allowing for inflation, we are now ‘Lazy Fifty’. ... more
