Penelope Cover Lyrics
Oh Penelope
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it Dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
Oh Penelope
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it Dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi corazon
Take you to the forest
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your redscales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I
Come round to visit you
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
No girl
Need you there, Need you there, Need you there
Ooh Release that air
(I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi corazon)
Take you to the forest
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your redscales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
If they summon the rains now,
Are you gonna rise?
If they summon the rains now,
Are you gonna rise?
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it Dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it Dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
To see you struggle
I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi corazon
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your redscales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
On the top of the bowl when I
Come round to visit you
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
Need you there, Need you there, Need you there
Ooh Release that air
(I’m treading water with my oars
Glass galleons anchored, oceans floor
I’m diving down with all my gear
In search of treasure, para mi corazon)
Let you feel the raindrops falling down
Seeping through your redscales
Eliminate the faucet
Eliminate the need for water
Replace it with a safe shell
If they summon the rains now,
Are you gonna rise?
Are you gonna rise?

i think "need you there, need you there more than air" is the way it's sung in this cover, except for the last line of the song.
i am a fan of Pinback (the band that originally did the song), so i was obviously thrilled to hear the new cover that he done. it turned out fantastic.
these are a bit more accurate to the PRP! cover of the song, not Soasins or Pinbacks.

i think this song is talking about a fish. basically. this song is lovely though, because it makes you think about a girl and a boy and their relationship. it depends on how you would look at this song.
lovely song fersure!!
ahh i love this cover! (: Its almost as amazing as the original.
mmmm this songs amazing
mmmm this songs amazing
I think this song's about a fish and a human. Or at least, maybe two humans but one of them's comparing the other to a fish.
Anyway, the fish is bored just staying in its bowl, and it's struggling not to die of boredom, and the human's worried, and they're singing how they wish they could entertain the fish so it can't die. Maybe something like that.
The song's pretty. :]
I hope they know they killed this song badly. I would kill my self if i had to hear it by them again. they have nothing on pinback.
i adore this song. in my opnion it's more catchy and remix-y than the original. i like it better, but that's just me.
it's obviously just about a goldfish. stop overthinking it, kids. dropsy is a disease in goldfish. and the floating upside down thing cannot be really be about much else. haha. i really like the meaning. kutos to pinback for such creativity and a great song. but dan just has a stronger voice that completes the song.
