Cover art for Thalassocracy lyrics by Frank Black and the Catholics

I think it's about a guy out fishing (wave your wand/make me dance flip flop) and sea life saying to man 'you think you have progressed / evolved (It isn't so great / since you learned karate chop), but we have freedom. The seas are bigger and better than land': I'm Thalassocracy (ruler of the waves) / You're just Romanov (ruler of vast land) - see also lyris for The Swimmer. ...... Most of Frank's lyrics are amazing. He can write about almost anything and get you interested. Genius
