Fair To Midland - Coppertank Island Lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen
We are in a little bit of a predicament
He said take your time
But didn't back his words
Heroes and holy ghosts
On the others' toes
And then risks his neck like
It's a moving target?
You?
Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an eggshell carpet
That brought you to your knees?
If the right built the anchor
I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale
Busy bees and worry worts
We are not in the business of fireworks
Or turning heads
That whistle in the dark
Sitting ducks and guinea pigs
Are the first to catch word
Of straws in the wind don't stop them
Remember this it's just two cents
Two cents never made you rich
Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an eggshell carpet
That brought you to your knees?
If the right built the anchor
And the wrong have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale
You?
I've shown my white feathers..!
Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an eggshell carpet
That brought you to your knees?
If the right built the anchor
And the wrong have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale

Fucking love the opening

+Bunny Chan
I was just thinking of this and now I can't get it out of my head. I still love this song, though. Lol.
My guinea pigs thoroughly enjoy this song. I just wish I had a pet duck.
awesome band ,simply top
I like whales. I approve of this song.
Yes yes, AA! ;)
Because of Alcoholics Anonymous?? haha jk -(;
Agreed. I adore Say When though. For the most part it's my favourite. But I know what you mean because of A&A mine is always changing!
@sexylexiebaby i do love say when. at another point in time that may have been my favorite from Fables. it seems like different songs speak to me at different times, ya know?
Say When :S
Usually, The Walls of Jericho. But yes, very difficult to pick a favorite.
This song reminds me of awesome
Got to see them in person in Richmond, was amazing
Oh I knooooow. I agree, what about Mayfly? Also very difficult.
Starwars, I'll second that forever. Requested they come to England, fat chance.
If you listen to the whole album it's so hard to pick a favorite song!
I think throughout the song it varies between whale, well, and aware.
I KNOW!!! I never looked up the lyrics to take away the magic of this song, but it does have that artistic spin/style doesn't it? Love it!
"I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale" are the actual lyrics.
ya its imma whale
Nope, it's I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale :P
He's saying "I'm aware"
to italy bro.
He's a whale, he's a ~well, he's a whale, as apparently the lyrics say.. He's both. He's a whale-well. And I wouldn't be surprised if there is a riddle there, which leads us to Leonardo Da Vinci's studio in Italy where we find ancient artifacts... thats how mysterious their lyrics are.
what do you mean wtf is this? This is a masterpiece.
I'm a whale and wtf is this.
@king15060 no
@jdragon1012 Yeah, SOAD replacement is obviously the first thing that came to mind when listening to this progressive metal album.
fair to poopland!
@king15060 Get your head out of your ass
@About4Ducks mfw
This song is so good it gave me nosebleeds.
this band is so unfucking believable!! i think we might have a repacement for SOAd ladies and gentlemen
Every time i hear this song i daydream about me singing the part at 0:51.
he seriously has one of the best voices ever. Beast
@068856 im a whale.... im a well... im a whale
I got accepted to my preferred school because of this song. ♥
@Shoknux What makes you think that?
is he saying "ima wail" or "im a whale" LOL
The enitre album is one of the best ive heard in YEARS. Seriously everyone go buy it. Best album of 2011 EASILY but id even go as far as saying its the best album in this genre in the last 5-6 years. I usually listen to grind too so its odd for me to have such an opinion for a band in this genre. If someone as stubborn as me can like this, i know you guys can too. Go buy it...support this band....we have a game changer on our hands
@SOGGYxCRACKERS Oh, look I just listened to it again. While taking a crap. Yes. I did. I pretended I was shitting the lyrics.
JD loves cock
@HighlanderWallace Well then.
Nope. No accidents here.
@HighlanderWallace I see you accidentally hit the REPLY button.
@king15060 <--- insecure homo with tons of self-esteem issues.
I get the feeling that he's a whale.
fair to poopland!
Ladies and gentlemen we are in a little bit of a predicament....
