The Guardian Of My Shame

Lyrics

PELEG

YOU’RE THE GUARDIAN OF MY SHAME.

BILDAD

YOU TAKE THE LUCIFER FROM MY NAME.

PELEG

CAUSE IT’S ALL ABOUT ME AND SO OBVIOUSLY

BILDAD

TO DENY IS TO WIN IN THIS GAME.

PELEG

WOULD YOU KNOW IF I’M COMING AROUND?

BILDAD

CAN YOU TELL ME IF I’M LOSIN’ GROUND?

PELEG

COMING OUT OF MY SHELL BUT TOO EARLY TO TELL

BILDAD & PELEG

IF YOU’VE FOUND THE KEY TO MY SHAME.

PELEG

AND WHEN I LOOK ABOVE, THERE’S SCANDAL IN THE AIR.

BILDAD

AND I KNOW THAT LIFE IS JUDGING ME EVEN IF ALL THEY SAY IS UNTRUE.

PELEG

YOU’RE THE GUARDIAN OF MY SHAME.

BILDAD

YOU TAKE THE LUCIFER FROM MY NAME.

PELEG 

WE’RE A BLOODTHIRSTY LOT,

BILDAD

AND THE BIBLE WE’VE GOT,

BILDAD & PELEG

CAPTAINS BILDAD AND PELEG ARE WE.

ISHMAEL 

(Spoken dialogue) 

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, about the job!

PELEG

NOW THE SHIP YOU’RE GONNA SAIL IS RAD.

BILDAD

YOU’RE AGAMEMNON IN THE ILIAD.

PELEG

COMING OUT OF YOUR SHELL,

BILDAD

MY BOY YOU’LL BE SWELL,

PELEG & BILDAD

IF YOU’VE FOUND THE KEY TO OUR SHAME.

PELEG

NOW THE SHIP YOU’RE GONNA SAIL IS RAD.

BILDAD

YOU’RE AGAMEMNON IN THE ILIAD.

PELEG

COMING OUT OF YOUR SHELL,

BILDAD

MY BOY YOU’LL BE SWELL,

PELEG & BILDAD

IF YOU’VE FOUND THE KEY TO OUR SHAME.

PELEG

NOW YOU’LL BE SAILING FAR,

BILDAD

FROM SPAIN TO ZANZIBAR.

PELEG

AND WHEN LOVELY LADIES SMILE AT YOU,

BILDAD

KEEP YOUR HANDS AND ALL YOUR THOUGHTS ABOVE BOARD!

PELEG

SO THE SHIP YOU’RE GONNA SAIL IS GRAND!

BILDAD

PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT AND BE IN COMMAND.

OF YOURSELF IS WHAT I MEAN,

PELEG

GO GET HELP BEFORE I SCREAM!

PELEG & BILDAD

‘CAUSE YOU’VE FOUND THE KEY TO OUR SHAME.

PELEG

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN,

BILDAD

GO GET HELP WHILE I SCREAM,

PELEG & BILDAD

AND BE THE GUARDIAN OF ALL OUR SHAME.
