Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
Boilermaker
by Sólo Frijoles
Well there’s a boilermaker
and he lives on board
with his pockets full of all the things he’s stored
there’s his trusty wrench
and it goes “squeak! squeak!"
and a hammer “BONG!"
and a mouse “eek eek!"
Every day and night
He would check the hull
And the captain thought that this was kind of dull
That he checked for leaks
It had been decreed
This ship was built
Stronger than the sea
Hey there Mr. Boilermake
You think that this ship can sink
There’s no leak you silly man
“Well if there is, I’ll fix it! And the best I can!"
It was late one night
On the Arctic Coast
And the crew was busy with a New Year’s toast
No one at wheel
When the ship went “BUMP!"
And the boilermaker
Felt his heartbeat jump
So he sent his mouse
Scampering off to seek
When the mouse came back it shouted out “leek! leek!"
But the captain laughed
That he had no doubts
Why would anybody
trust a mouse?
Hey there Mr. Boilermake
You think that this ship can sink
There’s no leak you silly man
“Well if there is, I’ll fix it! And the best I can!"
So the boilermaker went below
With the captain following in tow
What they saw there chilled them to their souls
An iceberg had opened a very…big...hole
So the captain ran back
And he told the crew
And they cried to the boilermaker “what will we do?"
We don’t have vests
‘Cuz we thought we couldn’t sink
And the boilmaker said “let me think…"
My pockets hold numerous things
Let’s see what some rummaging brings
There’s my hammer ("BONG!”) wrench ("Squeak!”) and mouse (“eek!”)
Then he reached a bit deeper to pull more things out...
There was a life vest (“Yay!”)
And some oars (“Ooooo”)
There was a row boat (“Ahhhhh”)
And there was more (“There was more?!?!”)
There was a schooner (“gasp!*)
With yellow sails (“Holy cow!”)
There was a dolphin (“Eh-eh-eh-eh”)
And a whale ("[whale sound]”)
And the crew got in the boats
And on the animals backs
As their ship sunk down into the ocean black
And from that day forth
Sailing on the sea
They would sing their boilermaker melody
(Even though they now knew to believe)

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
BOILERMAKER
by Strangely Brown
My granddad was a boilermaker
At the BHP before the war
Worked all week to keep his family fed
With sixpence left over for the poor
Grandma kept the home in order
Grew spuds out back to make ends meet
With daily eggs from the chook pen and
A roast bird as a special treat
And round the town the kids ran wild
like a pack of dogs in the summer heat
with barefoot football kickin’
fresh fruit pickin’, cricket in the street
And on Sunday they would gather at the Mayfield Parish hall
To acknowledge all the blessings that the Lord bestowed to all
We give thanks for the coal
Thanks for the steel
Thanks for Bradman
And the food on our plate
We give praise to God
And to little Baby Jesus
And to all of our Union delegates

Island boy from a two road coastal town
Felt the military was the only way out
Assigned to a destroyer in Subic Bay
Camels and a fifth every pay day
Boilermaker
Slam the whiskey, sip the chaser
Stare at the horizon
Look for something better
Boilermaker
One foot on the rock, one in the sea
Sailing over reefs of uncertainty
Met a girl from Manila, fell in love
She hated life on base, it was not enough
An explosion in the engine left his body charred
Months of recovery in the burn ward
CH
Did you ever dream you’d live alone in a nursing home in Canada
View of the cemetery blocking out the bay
Kids so busy with their own lives, problems, and their families
Lucky if they call you on the holidays

Plate metal gotta pound you down
Steel piping gotta bring you around now
Acetylene gonna cut you out
Arc welder gonna pull you together
Me and the metal and we’re always alone
And I don’t know how long I can take it
Every spark I can feel in my bones
Am I the boiler or the boilermaker?
Love every hiss and I love every purr
I love the metal and I love the machinery
As if my body were a part of the earth
As if anything could ever complete me
Me and the metal we’re together for life
Forgotten scraps, we are lost and forsaken
Welded together by the power of fire
I am the boiler and the boilermaker
Me and the metal we’re together for life
Forgotten scraps, we are lost and forsaken
Welded together by the power of fire
I am the boiler and the boilermaker

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
Fido I, don't wanna hear
what you have to say anymore
'Cause you keep giving me bad advice
and I am scared that I'm gonna die
I don't wanna drive my car in the rain
I don't want to fight a bull in Spain
I won't amputate my toe for a splinter
I won't try to invade Russia in the Winter
{Chorus}
Pour me out a whisky and a beer
I'm gonna drink them both right now
'Cause I need something to drown out
These fuckin' animal sounds
Kitty can't you please be quiet now
I'm feeling a little bit edgy these days
and all the things you say
mess with my confidence and mental health
You tell me that my ears stick out like a mouse
and nobody would want me for their spouse
that I probably should destroy myself
so I can't infect anybody else
{Chorus}

We all love animals, or at least we should
They're generally not selfish, if not always understood
But some animals have problems, and they aim to disturb
They want to push your buttons, and get you all perturbed
That pig is a boilermaker, he lives right next door
Plays his rap music at half past twenty four
And every single piggy day it's a stereo earth-quaker
I'm sure that he does it to piss me off...
That pig is a boilermaker
Deliberate manipulates, their torment is so great
And there just is no debate, they make me so irate
The dog is a boilermaker, he likes to piss on my lawn
Lurking out by my bushes, he waits 'til he thinks I'm gone
But I caught him one fine day on my video taker
He just shrugged and walked away...
That dog is a boilermaker
Deliberate manipulates, their torment is so great
And there just is no debate, they make me so irate
Oh oh oh oh
Button pushing personality disorders yeah
Rile you up so bad you'll want to run for the border - run away!
The chicken is a boilermaker, that smug little bird
She climbs all over my new car and covers it up with turd
I'd love to pluck out all her feathers put her right in an oven and bake her
That bird gets me so hopping mad...

Boilermaker
I found myself in West Lafayette
In my convertible red corvette
she graced Purdue
I said "please don't...
leave me hanging" , she said "I won't"
I'll take her back to my Hoosier nest
amongst the animals we'll get undressed
No one can judge our forbidden love
I'm a hawk and she's a dove
A fair maiden from the rival school
she boils my blood, and I lose my cool
this year they got the Oaken bucket
my team lost but I still got lucky
oh Boilermaker
you'll never have to fake it with me
I'm a Hoosier and who's your destiny
(vocal solo by Bella Phillips)

Boilermaker by Levittown
You may think that I'm a wolf
You may think that I'm a bear
There's no harm in my smile
Or anger in my stare
I know you're here alone
I can take good care of you
Let's enjoy cocktails together
Like adults do
Tonight I want to have some fun
But you say that I'm already done
Before I've even had my first
You'd think I was already at my worst
I might bark just like a dog
Or oink just like a pig
I'll be your animal
Get on all fours and beg
I'd rather sit with you
And share a laugh and a drink
Then we can leave together
Quicker than a blink
Tonight I want to have some fun
But you say that I'm already done
Before I've even had my first
You'd think I was already at my worst
So hurry up let's get drunk quickly
So we can get down and dirty
Stir yours or use the shaker
I'll start with a boilermaker
A shot and a beer and I'm all set
Whatever you need is what you'll get
I'll be gentle, I won't break her
I'll start with a boilermaker
You may think that I'm a wolf
You may think that I'm a bear

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker

Now listen to my story
It took place in ‘92
I know you won’t believe it
Unless you were there too
For all the things that came to pass
Upon that fateful day
But I am here to tell you
That they happened just this way
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’
The Utah Boilermaker
Just kept right on a’ goin’
The Boilermaker took on water
And a load of cattle (SFX)
All oiled up and shiny
She was ready to do battle
And meet again the challenge
Of the Great Divide
And safely bring its cargo down
On to the other side
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’
The Utah Boilermaker
Just kept right on a’ goin’
She pulled out of Omaha
To start her endless ride
When the Dalton Brothers
Rode their horses (SFX) by her side
They fired their Colt revolvers
And they tried to stop that train
But she forged ahead so fast
The Daltons could not gain
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’
The Utah Boilermaker
Just kept right on a’ goin’
Into the Rocky Mountains
She dragged her massive form
When suddenly from the southwest
Up came a massive storm.
The thunder rolled, the lightning cracked
The Lord revealed his ire
The rain in buckets couldn’t stop
The trees from catching fire
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’
The Utah Boilermaker
Just kept right on a’ goin’
She powered through the Great Divide
Her engine never blanched
But then the tracks were blocked by
A gigantic avalanche
The brakeman stopped the engine
And got help from the crew
With hours full of digging
She powered her way through
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’
The Utah Boilermaker
Just kept right on a’ goin’
Late that night the ‘Maker
Limped in to Sacramento
Her burns and scars and gashes
Made a very fine memento
And they still tell the story
All about the way
The Utah Boilermaker
Passed the test and saved the day
CHORUS:
The Utah Boilermaker
Was a legendary train
That climbed over the Great Divide
Without a lick of strain
When any other engine
The towel would be throwin’

Little Chimpy just read the news
About Lucy Walker and her crew
Shot fifty feet in the air
There was nothing to repair
Boilermaker played the blues
Boilermaker played the blues
Boilermaker played the blues
Boilermaker played the blues
Little Piggy on this day had asked
If anyone had seen the blast
Sam Clemens lost some family
It was a monumental tragedy
Little Birdy heard the radio
Sultana put on quite a show
An American catastrophe
The worst in history

Little Chimpy just read the news
About Lucy Walker and her crew
Shot fifty feet in the air
There was nothing to repair
Boilermaker played the blues

Little Piggy on this day had asked
If anyone had seen the blast
Sam Clemens lost some family
It was a monumental tragedy
Little Birdy heard the radio
Sultana put on quite a show
An American catastrophe

Ken Mahru
Brooklyn Shipyard
working dawn to dusk
He labors for her
Never makes a fuss
Working hard
welding steel to steel
Boilermaker
how does it feel?
They said I love you
at the county court
then he kissed her
and went back to work
on the line
welding steel to steel
Boilermaker
how do you feel?
The workers on the dock
they all toasted his good luck
but he needs every dime
so he works overtime
Brooklyn Shipyard
after the war
he wasn't needed
anymore
he told his wife
and so they left
the Boilermakers
moved out west

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
Danny met a girl
While away at college
They really hit it off
And things were moving pretty quick
He thought it would be cool
To bring her home from school
To meet his parents
And say hi to his buddy Rick
WOOF WOO FWOOF WOOF
When they arrived
Nobody answered the door
The dog was barking
Dad was passed out on the floor
Empty bottles everywhere
The smell of vomit in the air
He never took her home again
They broke up after that weekend
Most people need
Just a little extra to keep their sanity
But it was too much here
Danny's dad liked his whiskey with a case of beer!!!!!
Susie had a job
To pay for classes
And with a little left
She wanted to move away
But she paid the rent
Because her family spent
Most of their own money
On fast food, junk, and drugs
While she was gone
Her sister found the stash
In her belongings
Looking for something to pawn for cash
The family lived a life of hell
Why shouldn't Susie do as well?
The mother clipped her daughter's wings
She dropped out and stopped waiting
Many people need
A little perspective to keep their dignity
What her family found
The best way to stay above was to keep Suzi down
Looking from the other side
In another time, nobody seemed to care
The vices helped them when
The help just wasn't there
One more shot for misery
Two more pills for the pain
Three more cigarettes to complete chain!!!!!1111
Most people need
Just a little extra something to keep their sanity
It'll leave a scar...
Danny found a brand new home in a townie bar
Many people need
A little perspective to keep their dignity
And what Susie learned
She had given others enough and now it's Susie's turn

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
Boilermaker / Safe Harbour ... (Glennny practically dared me! I wanna come to NYC)
Me, I've always been a traveller
Everywhere that I went
Owls they see everything
With their eyes they're so intelligent
How would you ever notice
Or believe that you could be the only one
Only one with a torch bright enough to honour me
Til forever
Ch1
Bubble bubble, toil and trouble
Arise, oxygenate, and then depart from 'neath the rubble
Rebuild repair restore, I know you've always wanted so much more
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour
Be aware that in reality
Reports concur the tragedy
Any and all of these things
You say might be held against you
Ch2
Bubble bubble toil and trouble
Arise and then depart from underneath the rubble
Rebuild repair I no u wantd so much mor but heatd bonds set hardr
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour
Nobody listens
Everyone whispers
Inside your ears
Giving your heavy-handed
Heart blisters
Me, I was once a boilermaker
You could say I used to cook with gas
Now I'm just an old sunflower
Oh, no, not such a bonny lass
Acetylene
How so unsettling
Subtle, subtle, soil and struggle
Arise from underneath the rubble
Rebuild repair restore, you know heated bonds set harder
Keep yourself in a well-maintained and safe harbour

'Boilermaker'
Bartender, please have pity on me--
meowing around this town like a pussy cat in heat.
But my old man, he's the big tom cat in this town.
So pour me a stiff one, for he is nowhere to be found.
Perhaps he is out walking. Or hiding in the trees.
Maybe he’s in the meadow with the birds and the bees ...
well he’s in the doghouse now, soon to be wearing my leash!
So baby pour me the good stuff, so I can get release!
Listen, make it a boilermaker baby:
one shot of whisky with a beer for a chaser
a boilermaker, baby
either Daniels-via-Jack or Mark from the Maker
Boilermaker ... boilermaker
when the haters are ghosting, or when fakers shade,
boilermaker's the way.
The birdie goes {tweet}. And the cow goes {moo}.
And I know he's been catting around with “you-know-who!"
So line it up for me, mister--
I'm a piggie in a pen of abuse!
And Old MacDonald ain't got nothin' on that Animal House of Mister Magoo!
The chicken goes {SQUAK!}. And {HONK} goes the duck ...
... and I don't give much of a concern about how I conduct myself in your bar, just line me up a shot and pull me up a good, long draw
...when only a good drunk will do
boilermaker - MAYBE I'll go FERAL on you!
One shot of whiskey with a beer for a chaser--boilermaker.
One shot of whiskey with a beer for a chaser--boilermaker ...yeah.

Boilermaker
by Potato Dentata
My friends are in the ally
They can't come in the bar
They don't speak the language
And furrier by far
They're getting pretty loud
I can hear them through the door
I'll take my drinks to go
Better make that four
We'll have a boilermaker
It'll be such fun
Beer and whisky
Drinking more than one
Cause the boilermaker
Makes the world go round
We'll drink until
We hit the ground
My friends they all say thank you
I think that's pretty cool
They'd appreciate it
If you let them grab a stool
Plus its also really hard for me
To carry all these drinks
Back into the alley
I wish that you'd rethink
Your policy on animals
that come into your bar
I promise they'll behave
Plus the dog plays, a mean sitar
We'll have a boilermaker
It'll be such fun
Beer and whisky
Drinking more than one
Cause the boilermaker
Makes the world go round
We'll drink until
We hit the ground

Re: Nur Ein XI - Boilermaker
Berkeley Social Scene
Boilermaker
[V1]
While we're here
There's nothing to fear
This bar stool’s a buoy
Keeping us afloat
We've got safe harbor
With the pelicans and gulls
One more boilermaker
Damn the torpedos
[Chorus]
Drop a shot in the pint
Be an animal tonight
It’s inside, you can’t hide
Time to flip the circuit breaker
Be a dog, bark and bite
Till you howl at the moon
Just a whiskey and a beer
What’s there to fear?
[V2]
Slap your cash on the bar
You're not leaving til we close
We've got nowhere to run
So kick out the jams
We're young and rebellious
Like a wild pack of wolves
We’re under the influence
We won't ever stop
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Send the ship back to shore
We don't need it anymore
here blows a strong breeze
To safe harbor from the sea
We’ve spent enough time alone
The whales will guide us home
Pull up the anchor
We've found the boilermaker
[Chorus]

Boiler Maker
This is our bar
Pour me a shot and a beer
We’ve got nothing to fear
We’re lions in our den and we live here
Roar
have another shot and another beer
Boilermakers makes us disappear
We are pioneers of the gutter life
Boilermakers quench our appetite
This is our home
Where we do what we want
We drink like pigs
We live in our own filth
Oink, Oink, Oink
Have another shot and another beer
Boilermakers makes us disappear
We are pioneers of the gutter life
Boilermakers quench our appetite
This is our fucking Zoo
I’m the keeper and I tell you what to do
So get behind the fucking bar
Or I’ll maul you like a jaguar
Rowr!
