Alestorm - Scraping The Barrel Lyrics
For many a-year we have travelled the seas,
Singing songs about pirates and all their misdeeds!
Stories of treasure and great undead foes,
Just a day in the life of a man that I know.
Recorded in song for all people to hear.
But many have asked where we're next gonna sail
The answer lies deep in a barrel of ale!
[Chorus 2x:]
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
That Running Wild did it back in '84
But times are a-changing and we don't give a damn!
So if you don't like it, go start your own band!
Many have told us that we can't go on!
That one day we'll run out of lyrics for songs!
But when the time comes to write album four,
We'll scrape at the barrel once more!
[Chorus:]
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
[Solo]
[Chorus 3x:]
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!

Alestorm Scraping The Barrel Comments
When you've discovered all there is to discover in Skyrim but you've managed to find some random farmer who wants you to get 20 nirnroot.
oloco tem mais gringo comentando aqui do que br kkkkkk
"You may think you've heard all this music before. That Running Wild did it back in '84".
Ah Alestorm referencing Running Wild. Doesn't get much better than that :D
When you run out of lyrics for songs, so you write a song saying you've run out of lyrics for songs
The most surprising thing is that I like it without the "parody" or ironic idea of it. It's just good.
Expressed my harshest frustrations as a musician.
Fodaaa🤘
It seems that we've smoked all of that 10s, we are scraping the grinder my friend.
It looks like our cocaine has come to an end, we are ripping the baggie my friend.
イントロが最高に泣ける。
I just completed a new 53 Master Alestorm playlist !!!! I hope it won't be blocked in my country !!!!!!!
This was the best album of 2011. Man, those days..
This song is literally what it feels like when you beat a dark souls game
Motherfuckin Pirate Rock. How can you not love it.
By being a bloody landlubber, nargh!
@Black Simon Fuck the landlubbers with an anchor!
fuck off
"No more stories of battles of old"
Haha I love that they wrote these lyrics, and that in the next album they wrote an entire song about the Battle of Cartagena, geniuses
When I hear this song it feels like real pirates, and their real side, the sad side. It destroys a bit the cliche-pirates type that are always on the seas searching for treasures, love it
But it perfectly fits the melancholic side of pirate romance!
4 scums disliked, who doesn’t like this music, apparently 4 people
For many a-year we have travelled the seas
Singing songs about pirates and all their misdeeds!
Stories of treasure and great undead foes
Just a day in the life of a man that I know
Your legendary prowess in drinking much beer
Recorded in song for all people to hear
But many have asked where we're next gonna sail
The answer lies deep in a barrel of ale!
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
You may think you've heard all this music before
That Running Wild did it back in '84
But times are a-changing and we don't give a damn!
So if you don't like it, go start your own band!
Many have told us that we can't go on!
That one day we'll run out of lyrics for songs!
But when the time comes to write album four
We'll scrape at the barrel once more!
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
There are no more tales to be told!
No more stories from battles of old!
Now it seems our journey has come to an end!
We are scraping the barrel my friend!
That this isnt pinned yet!
Great gp gameplay my boy
is it just me or does this seem like a massive screw you to haters of Alestorm? Saying about how they'll keep scraping the barrel for lyrics xD
I think that's really evident. lol
Hell yes! Fuck the haters!
Think they even call out a band or 2
MAKE THE HATERS WALK THE PLANK!!!
Pretty much this song sounds like surrender. I didn't know pirates surrendered.
They don;t ;)
That explains why there were never any french pirates around...
actually the french were very prominent in the Caribbean seas back in the age of pirates...
No, they even say
"Many have told us that we can't go on!
That one day we'll run out of lyrics for songs!
But when the time comes to write album four
We'll scrape at the barrel once more!"
so they refuse to surrender, that's the point of the song
@John Nemo I know I'm late, but that's a great comment.
That moment you start doting. Not proud of this joke but someone had to make it
And the irony, chances are I'll forget it when I wake up . . .
this is so meta
I love how this song is pretty much saying
"our gimmick is running out of time, go listen to better music"
Yeah it's kind of sad, sounds like they're giving up. Fucking sucks really.
I don't hear that at all! This album is 6 years old and they've had 3 great albums since! I think it's a testament to give it all they've got.
Stephen Gregory
You realize that this song was made two albums ago, right?
and? they literally say there are no more tales to be told... so theyre just retelling the same shit... its quitting
Well shit, both Sunset on the golden age and no grave but the sea were absolutely amazing albums , i don't think they will stop.
best song ever!
This song <3
Fits with the ending of Uncharted 4
Highly underrated song
Song that I dont understand the non-fame too, are songs like That Famous Ol' Spiced, 1741 (although it is played often live I assume)
Txtspeak I think that makes bands greats. When They have hidden gems for you to find. Gives you a lust to look into their songs and not just those overplayed songs which aren’t bad at all.
Honestly Alestorm is underrated in general
@Hervé Grauling 1741 is about the battle of cartagena where the english attacked it and the spanish commander ( i forgot his name) fought back and beat the english and that was pretty much a disasterous historical event for england that it was illegal to speak of the event back around that time.
@Anurag Shah cough*like another great band mentioned in this song*cough
Seriously, will the soggy sea dogs ever get their due? Maybe thhats a song for me to write. Or you. Idk.
no comments?
