Pirates
Slow Club Lyrics

I sent off for the economy pack,
I ordered the cheaper option, but got sent the fancier, more expensive version.

They sent the super deluxe pack.
The company ended up sending me an even better version than I initially ordered.

But no, I'm not complaining,
Despite the mix up, I'm not upset or unhappy about it.

No, no 'cos it's not raining today.
Since it's not raining, I'm not bothered by the error.

Friday morning I've got so much to do.
It's a busy Friday morning for me.

I see a man about a thing,
I have a meeting with someone about something I need.

But it's not for me, it's all for you.
The meeting is for your benefit, not mine.

And I swear I didn't see the danger ship,
I genuinely didn't notice the ship that was a potential problem.

Where sea meets the sky,
The horizon line where the ocean and the sky meet.

And the sky meets the sea.
The same horizon line where the sky and the ocean meet.

But you take me home,
You drove me home.

And we missed my road,
We passed the correct turn to my destination.

So we'll have to take the long way round.
We will have to drive a longer route to get to my intended destination.

And you shot me in the back,
You betrayed me.

When I was walking away.
When I was leaving the situation.

Girl, y'know that's not fair play.
What you did was not fair or ethical.

So I left my instructions on the side,
I left some guidelines or advice for a situation.

And this is what they say:
These are the tips I gave for the given situation.

I come in six, easy-to-assemble pieces.
I am relatively simple to put together, consisting of six parts.

No glue needed 'cos I've got some self-adhesive.
No glue is required because the parts have stickiness built-in.

On my head and my hands and feet.
The adhesive is on the parts of me that fit together - my head, hands, and feet.

You wanna cut across the dotted line,
To put me together, you need to cut along the indicated dotted line.

And we're complete.
Once you cut along the dotted line and put me together, I am whole or finished.

Blasted boats were used to sail away.
Explosive boats were used to depart from the area.

To mashed potato island where the trees are made of broccoli.
To a non-realistic place where things are chaotic or nonsensical.

And I swear I didn't see the danger ship,
Once again, I didn't realize there was a potential problem present.

Where the sea meets the sky,
Same as before, this refers to the horizon line.

And the sky meets the sea.
The point where the sky and ocean meet.

But the pirates came and made me walk their plank,
The pirates forced me to walk off the edge of their ship and into the ocean.

They tied cannonballs to my feet to made sure that I'd sank.
They made sure I would drown, even adding extra weight to ensure it.

But the sharks were being friendly that day,
Contrary to what one would expect, the sharks were not attacking me and instead seemed amicable.

They chewed my hat, chewed my jeans, and then they chewed my chain.
The sharks weren't very aggressive and simply gnawed on my belongings rather than attacking me.

So I could get away.
The sharks' inaction provided me an opportunity to escape the situation.

And say:
To change the subject, to move on to the next topic.

La, la, la, la, la, low. La, la, la, la, la, low. La, la, la, la, la, low. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
The repetition of sounds is probably a way to switch gears and move on to another section of the song.

I come in six, easy-to-assemble pieces.
This is a repeated line, like a refrain.

No glue needed 'cos I've got some self-adhesive.
Once again, no glue is necessary to put me together.

On my head and my hands and feet. (All around my hands and feet.)
The adhesive is still on the same parts of me: head, hands, and feet.

You wanna cut across the dotted line.
Repeating the previous refrain again.

And we're complete. And we're complete. And we're comple- Yeah, yeah.
The song ends with the repetition of the same phrase which probably means to complete the cycle or bring the theme of the song full circle.
