We're an oyster cracker on the stew,
And the honey in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
A tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
Down and down we go...
Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
No thank you, none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
And the honey in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be

I love this song
I wonder if this was playing on the Titan sub this week...
boring . . .sorry Norah you are a talented and lovely lady but . . .
Hello, sis is Stephan from Germany ... what is she sinking about soon?
Reading back on comments going back 12 years…analogies were made to imperialism and surviving covid….now this song takes on a whole new meaning as we literally are sinking.
Hearing a bit of Toussaint's St James Infirmary...

Pretty sure there is a tuba, trombone and a trumpet involved here. Solo is trombone.

Tips for reducing your annoyance:
Generally you'll come across a big button/dial on the front of your amplifier, this is the volume button - turn it anti-clockwise.Otherwise, look for a smaller button, generally found to one side of the device, that says "power" or possibly "off" or perhaps "on/off" - press it.Other methods if annoyances emanate closer to the head could be to reach up to your ears, there, if you find some items either sticking into your ears or perhaps on/over your ears - gently take them out or off your ears.If annoyances are coming form your pc / laptop, have a look down on the task bar (windows device) for a small 'thingy' that looks a little like a speaker - click on this device and a slider should pop up - slide the button down.If all the above fail:lean forwards, contract quadriceps whilst maintaining balance so as not to topple forwards - within a second or two you will notice your head in a more elevated position. Let things stabilise, then aim head for nearest doorway, lean forwards again, this time to prevent toppling, move one foot / leg forwards, quickly followed by the other. Repeat whilst maintaining head towards doorway. Annoyances will slowly fade away with each cycle of movement. Repeat until no longer annoying!
Hahaha! Beautiful!

I think the worst I've seen on these boards was some yob who equated a song/artist to a case of herpes. Serious disgusting jackass stuff. Nobody wants to read that.
On the other hand, if you've got a great and detailed story to tell about the technical weaknesses of a given song/artist; or about an ex or moment of your past that the song is a part of that lead to a negative feeling for the song... we are all ears.
Yob. Love it.
And hate is indeed a very strong word.

"We're going to be sinking soon". In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic these aren't the words you want to hear. It's still an excellent song.
What a gem of an artist she is. There are a number of other artists on the rotation who try this reduxy stuff and they just don’t get it the way Norah does. Trying to pick up where Billie left off is, well uh, risky for subsequent artists.
Norah Jones is a true American gem. I still remember the first time I heard her - on NPR - on my way to work. I stopped my car, scrambled frantically for a pen and scrap of paper and waited expectantly for the name of this girl with the amazing voice and beautiful music. She never disappoints.

The last three songs, at least, have wheels in common, and sinking boats, and socio-political commentary as context.
This must be the time of the day on RP to cast music with stark views on the current lot.

That's a great song about the U.S. economy! Thanks!

Cute tune...but she doesn't have any real soul...never cared much for Norah. A good segue after this would be 'Six Months In a Leaky Boat'...by Split Enz.

Dear Neil66,

Tips for reducing your annoyance:
- Generally you'll come across a big button/dial on the front of your amplifier, this is the volume button - turn it anti-clockwise.
- Otherwise, look for a smaller button, generally found to one side of the device, that says "power" or possibly "off" or perhaps "on/off" - press it.
- Other methods if annoyances emanate closer to the head could be to reach up to your ears, there, if you find some items either sticking into your ears or perhaps on/over your ears - gently take them out or off your ears.
- If annoyances are coming form your pc / laptop, have a look down on the task bar (windows device) for a small 'thingy' that looks a little like a speaker - click on this device and a slider should pop up - slide the button down.
- If all the above fail:lean forwards, contract quadriceps whilst maintaining balance so as not to topple forwards - within a second or two you will notice your head in a more elevated position. Let things stabilise, then aim head for nearest doorway, lean forwards again, this time to prevent toppling, move one foot / leg forwards, quickly followed by the other. Repeat whilst maintaining head towards doorway. Annoyances will slowly fade away with each cycle of movement. Repeat until no longer annoying!

Love this funky stuff from Ms. Jones.
She and her band did a local interview awhile back, apparently they were doing small gigs around Dallas (?) using various aliases. One of them was 'The Well Hungarians', but eventually they had to quit using it 'cause there was already another band with the name. Too funny. She sounds like a fun person to hang out with.

The year before she won her first Grammy she was at SXSW Festival in Austin handing out flyers for her show. She personally handed me a flyer and invited me to her show. I'm so mad at myself for not going to see her. So much new talent at that festival that you never can decided who to see.

In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
Hmm... wonder what that's about. A lot of the songs on this CD are about a similar subject... hmm... could it have something to do with the state of America? No, it couldn't be.

When I hear those first notes i always think it's Chocolate Jesus (by ,uh, what's his name) and I'm thinking great! Then it continues and my Chocolate Jesus has a meltdown. :(

Ok, regardless what I think of this song on its own merits (I like it, incidentally), it *needs* to be paired with Chocolate Jesus, because EVERY D*%N TIME it starts I go "Oh, sweet! It's Chocolate Jesus!!!" And then it isn't, and I am sad. :(
I like it--it is a welcome diversion for her (though I like her loungy stuff as well), and I enjoy the Tom Waits vibe...

I like Norah Jones, but I'm not sure her singing style is really suited to the honky-tonk feel this song has. She seems a bit too quiet for it.
