Compact Discs are the traditional method of listening to music in late 18th Century Ireland, Scotland, and the Canadian Maritimes. Using an ancient technique called "digitization", Celtic craftsmen spun silver into tiny ones and zeroes using looms, then sold the precious discs to their English masters. At parties, the English aristocrats would then produce special music-goats, which would decode the ones and zeroes and bleat the tunes they read. While ancient Celtic digitization and goat-reading have been lost to history, we present the next best thing.
Modern Compact Discs are manufactured from plastics rather than silver, but they still retain a beautiful shine on the reverse side, which sparkles in the sun and will dazzle your friends. Using laser technology, the discs are decoded into electrical signals in something called a "CD Player", which are then transferred into soundwaves via magnets in things called "speakers". (CD Player and Speakers sold separately)

about
Born by the sea in a naval port and coming from a family with a deep nautical connection led me to present the band with this sea shanty. It’s a jolly good pirate or sailor sing a -long. The term “bully” means that the sailor is too drunk to join the revelry in the ale houses and as a result gets left in the alley or Shinbone Al to sober up. A whole crew of keen sailor wannabees showed up in the studio to add their vocals on this number. -Paul
lyrics
Chorus:
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Sally is a girl in Shinbone Alley
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I found myself foot under three-o
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
I found myself with time so free-o
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I walked up to that angel little
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Kicked down the door and walked right in-o
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I walked up to the barroom counter
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Where I met with Greasy Arty
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I bought her rum, I bought her gin-o
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
I bought her wine of white and red-o
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
And when I'd spent a folly total
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Off to bed we both did dream 'bout
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
We're open tope-a-low light lark-o
Weigh, heigh, bully in the alley
Upon daybreak the cock did call her
Bully down in Shinbone al'
Chorus
I left my girl to go a'sailing
Way, heigh, bully in the alley
I left my Sal to go a-whaling
Bully down in Shinbone al'
