Humorous/Lewd Songs

A captain is a funny thing, a spacer with a net,
an angel gambling with her death, who never lost a bet.
The captain, she took us to those demon-towers,
then brought us back right through Heaven's showers ... 
		(Fall of Angels, 101)

Ask not what a man is,
that he scramble after flattery as he can,
or that he bend his soul to a woman's wish...
After all, he is but a man.

Ask not what a man might be,
that he carry a blade like a fan,
and sees only what his ladies wish him to see...
After all, he is but a man...

		(The Towers of the Sunset, 440)[fragment]

...holding to the blade,
a-holding to the blade,
He used it like a spade,
A-holding to the blade... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 452)

...thirteenth day, they said that he was dead,
but up he rose and bashed the captain's head...
Ohhh...wild was the sailor, wild was the sea,
and wilder still the girl they called Maree...

...he blew so hard the sails came down,
But he rose with the prefect's crown...
Ohhh...wild was the sailor, wild was the sea,
and wilder still the girl they called Maree...

...wild was the sailor, wild was the sea,
and wilder still the girl they called Maree... 

		(The Towers of the Sunset, 148-149)

...la, la, la-la, and the cat would play
with the dog on the spring's first day... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 152)

...the Duke he went a-hunting,
a-hunting he did go... 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 329)
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 453)

...if he had a mule, he'd give it to a fool,
and if he had a knife, she'd not be his wife! 
		(The Towers of the Sunset, 450)
