On A Friday

Hard to port
I can feel the boat
It’s harboring unto her brown
Sinking ship, man the lifeboats
Hold your nose, watch me drown

I’m the captain of the boat
But I don’t like being slaughtered
I’m the captain of the boat
But I don’t like this way I’m slaughtered

Hey I’m a sinking man
On a sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

I’m sinking now
On the sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

Don’t waste all your days
Pretending that you’re still afloat
Time comes, you will see
That all this drowning is your own

I’m the captain of the boat
But I don’t like being slaughtered
I’m the captain of the boat
But I don’t like this way I’m slaughtered

Hey I’m a sinking man
On a sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

I’m sinking now
On the sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

Don’t waste all your days
Pretending that you’re still afloat
Time comes, you will see
That all this drowning is your own

Hey I’m a sinking man
On a sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

I’m sinking now
On the sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

I’m sinking man
I’m sinking man
I’m sinking man
I’m sinking man

Let’s get our act together
And get this boat off of the shore

Back in the day, Radiohead was called On a Friday, a garage punk/rock band were some of the initial members (Jonny joined them a few years later) grown up together in the Abingdon School at Oxfordshire, England. They had been recording several demo tapes, which have been released later online.
