Nautical Disaster by The Tragically Hip

I had this dream where I relished
The fray and the screaming that filled my head all day
It was as though I'd been spit there, settled in , into a pocket
Of a lighthouse off some rocky socket,
Off the coast of France, Dear

One afternoon, four (1)________________ men died in the water (2)________
Five (3)______________ more were thrashing (4)__________ as parasites might in you blood
Now I was in lifeboat (5)________________ for ten and ten and only,
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
It's not a (6)________ nor a test nor a love of something fated.
The selection was quick, the crew was (7)____________ and
those left in the (8)__________ got kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home.

Then the dream ends when the phone rings
You (9)__________ alright he said it's out there ,most days and nights
But only a fool would complain
Anyway Susan if you like our conversation is as faint as the sound in my memory
As those fingernails scratching on the hull
