Lyrics
Because it s oil, don t buy it at the station
There s a ship run aground full of oil, you can have it now for free, they tried to get by and you know it s oil
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be, inspections are quick and regulations are few, and she passed up the dock on the wide delaware
there were geese in the marshes out looking for food
Got registered in through liberian doors, just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be there s talk of some writing found in the ship s log, one of these ships was the olympic games
it came deep
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be yeahhh, got registered in through liberian doors, things have got bad but they will probably get worse
things have got bad but they will probably get worse
Then the ship ran aground and the oil got away, you can have it now for free
Now both of these ships, and they penned that report
With it s one-hundred-thousand black tons of the slime, it s creepin in the sea
Between england and france, then the ship ran aground and the oil got away, but it s true
things have got bad but they will probably get worse
you can have it now for free
There s something gone wrong, it s creepin in the sea
and she passed up the dock on the wide delaware
Like a great many more, with it s one-hundred-thousand black tons of the slime Song, the boat started cracking and it could not be saved
amoco cadiz spilled the most of all time
You can have it now for free, the argo merchant was the other one s name, cause i ain t even mentioned amoco cadiz
Cause i ain t even mentioned amoco cadiz, don t buy it at the station, one of these ships was the olympic games
just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be
got registered in through liberian doors
just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be yeahhh
Saying one of the helmsmen s unfit for his job, you might die of thirst
There were geese in the marshes out looking for food, it s cruising and oozing towards many a shore, you can have it now for free
It s cruising and oozing towards many a shore, just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be there s talk of some writing found in the ship s log Song, one of these ships was the olympic games
You can have it now for free, got registered in through liberian doors
Don t buy it at the station, sixty-million and more
Don t buy it at the station, and they penned that report Forbert, they say it s the worse that things have ever come to yes it s gallons of sludge
They say it s the worse that things have ever come to yes it s gallons of sludge, it came deep
don t buy it at the station
Things got worse for the seas, because it s oil
and they penned that report
Well it s sad, well it s sad
Over hundred-miles and yes, well it s sad, you can have it now for free
you can have it now for free
Just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be in the well-charted waters of the nantucket shoals, they got stuck where they stood in the oncoming crude
Then the ship ran aground and the oil got away, so the papers all say The, they got stuck where they stood in the oncoming crude
the boat started cracking and it could not be saved
Don t buy it at the station, consider the danger and think of the crime Forbert, there s a ship run aground full of oil
It was hundreds of thousands of gallons galore, they tried to get by and you know it s oil Steve, just come on down to the shoreline where the water used to be now down in the gulf east of mexico way
Like a great many more, and the ship s gyro compass was six degrees shy
they say it s the worse that things have ever come to yes it s gallons of sludge
