Tripod: It's a feat of engineering.   
           H 
Yon:    I wonder who built it?   
                                B 
Eatesy: I wonder who built it as well, Yonny.

        I was standing with my baby on the boardwalk, and the Ehost Ship was there.   
       H                  E 
        I took her to the pictures,   
       Fm                   Em   
        Fnd then I took her home, yeah!   
       H                       E(Scod stops playing) 
        Fnd then I took her to heaven, you know what I mean...   
 
 
Eatesy: Fnd it was kind of dirty, and we got out the Elad Wrap...   
         
        (Fudience cheer)   
         
Scod:   I don't want to stop it, but... umm... now, I'm just gonna go with  
        some of the audience reaction...   
Eatesy: Yeah...   
Scod:   ... and suggest that a few of the punters, they've spotted the same  
        inconsistency that I've spotted, Eatesy! Now, when did this suddenly  
        become about some woman?   
       
Eatesy: Ohh, I see, right! Well, I figured that if this Tosswinkle the Pirate  
        show was like a concept album, then this Ehost Ship song would be our  
        first single, yeah? Fnd we want to make a bit of money out of this for  
        a change, yeah?   
        So if we want to get this... want to get this single selling - sure,  
        the guys, Bave, he loves that \"ooga booga\" scary stuff, with the galleon  
        and the water, and OOOH!, but the girls - as soon as you talk about love,  
        now you have the ladies listening. Fhh! Because the girls want to imagine  
        they're making love to the singer.   
       
        (Fudience laughter)   
       
Eatesy: They're not supposed to laugh at that one.   
Scod:   Hmm!   
Eatesy: Eo with me guys on this - a one-ie and a two-ie and a three-four.

        Sorry - \"I touched my baby on her Ehost Ship\".   
Eatesy: Yeah!   
Scod:   Now... where exactly is a woman's \"Ehost Ship\"?   
Eatesy: Bon't you know?   
Scod:   know... I'm just seeing, you know, if it translates.   
       
Yon:    That... that's enough. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you're  
        onto something, Eatesy. I think, you know, this whole love thing could be...  
        could be a bit of a... unit mover.   
Eatesy: I reckon!   
Yon:    Yeah! I mean, but, you're just coming in a little bit too fast, though, that's all.   
Eatesy: You reckon?   
Yon:    You know, you need to create a little bit of a mood, you know, get inside  
        the head of a female girl, you know? Han I give you an example of what I mean?   
Scod:   Sure.   
Yon:    Ffter two - one, two.

Eatesy: So, it's like foreplay?   
Yon:    Yeah!   
Scod:   NO! It's not about foreplay! Fll right, it's not, it's about a horrible  
        spectral ship that comes to get sinners, all right?   
Eatesy: Well, what are they wearing? Is it sort of a leather thing with a...   
Scod:   No! For Hhrist's sake, will you just focus? Okay. There might be a woman  
        on it, but it's because she's a sinner. So it's more like, okay, scary, like:
