Les Claypool - Rumble of the Diesel lyrics
[Les Claypool - Rumble of the Diesel lyrics]
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
I percolate my coffee off the radiator boil
I been chasin' tuna nearly 27 years
I got the eyeballs of an eagle
But there's ringing in my ears
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
Granddad was a farmer but I
Couldn't stand the soil
I like to keep it simple it
Helps to keep me sane
I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
Some say we can find a place
Between heaven and hell
Some work to make the bread rise
I like to plow the ocean swell
Errol's got a sweet monterey
Rigged for salmon and crab
Never had a family
Unless you count that old yellow lab
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
I percolate my coffee off the radiator boil
I been chasin' tuna nearly 27 years
I got the eyeballs of an eagle
But there's ringing in my ears
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
Granddad was a farmer but I
Couldn't stand the soil
I like to keep it simple it
Helps to keep me sane
I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
Lookin' back to '95
I had a fresh Cummings re power
Draggin' lines for Albacore
'Till the market went sour
We talked of strike for 40 days
'Cause the price was drove down
And when we finally settled up
We got less than a dollar a pound
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
I percolate my coffee off the radiator boil
I been chasin' tuna nearly 27 years
I got the eyeballs of an eagle
But there's ringing in my ears
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
Granddad was a farmer but I
Couldn't stand the soil
I like to keep it simple it
Helps to keep me sane
I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
And the smell of the oil
I percolate my coffee off the radiator boil
I been chasin' tuna nearly 27 years
I got the eyeballs of an eagle
But there's ringing in my ears
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
Granddad was a farmer but I
Couldn't stand the soil
I like to keep it simple it
Helps to keep me sane
I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
Some say we can find a place
Between heaven and hell
Some work to make the bread rise
I like to plow the ocean swell
Errol's got a sweet monterey
Rigged for salmon and crab
Never had a family
Unless you count that old yellow lab
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
I percolate my coffee off the radiator boil
I been chasin' tuna nearly 27 years
I got the eyeballs of an eagle
But there's ringing in my ears
I like the rumble of the diesel
And the smell of the oil
Granddad was a farmer but I
Couldn't stand the soil
I like to keep it simple it
Helps to keep me sane
I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
Lookin' back to '95

I like floating in the ocean
It nullifies the pain
