I heard a version of this live and Gord did an interlude I call "Killer Whale Tank". It went something like this: I had a job before this I had a job before this Ultimately it was that job that drove me into this I worked at an aquarium An aquarium with lots of money from the government So it was HUGE I was clean & scrub man, they called us in the CNS Union I scrubbed the inside of the killer whale tank And after a while the boys in the CNS, the Clean & Scrub, we just sorta made it one word The Killerwhaletank, the killerwhaletank, the killerwhaletank, i'm goin into the killerwhaletank I got along with these two big beasts so well, it was like they knew me they'd look at me with their 100 year old eyes and it was like they knew me I'd put on my scuba gear, my mask, my regulator and I'd fall into the tank with nary a sound and I was underwater sometimes -- I'd JUMP OUT -- right in front of the window when people were expecting a killer whale and they'd see a human and they'd get spooked ... SPOOKED. yeah I'd do that but I was in the water this particular day unbeknownst to me, Shamu and Bartholomew, their relationship had gone stale seems I was going in there so much and I was looking so good Shamu took a shining to me And their so smart those things you know they've got all these human emotions love, lust, green 100 year old jealousy, Bartholomew... WAS LIVID! Unbeknownst to me I can't hear a goddamn thing underwater He was bumping up against me The stale killer whale bumping up against someone so pale and frail how was I to know the killerwhalerelationship had gone stale he bumpedup against me his skin was like sandpaper and he circled around I thought we were all patched up and I was cleanin and scrubbin and he took my... he came up and... he ripped my left arm off... and their quite docile and friendly in captivity but he took my left arm he took my fuckin left arm |
