The stories behind The Bilge of Lost Telemetry

• Liner Notes: The Bilge of Lost Telemetry (Take B) — Rousing banjo riffs, hearty pirate gang shouts, and driving acoustic rhythm power an extended shanty celebrating the recovery of lost cardiac monitors.

Lyrics

Transmitter lost overboard!

Into the laundry chute!

Boarding party assemble!

Fetch the meat horse boys!

There once was a telemetry heart rune so fine

At broadcast it pulses on 609

A careless young oarsman tossed sheets down the chute

And buried the treasure in laundry and soot

Ten thousand silver pieces gone to the deep

The Biomed Captain was ready to weep

Digging the linens, haying the foam

Bring that blessed people's back to its home

Before the hot water and I sing it down

Best damn recovery crew in the town

Way, hey, the Biomed

Sif Saved in the clinic from heavy expense gifts

We waded through blankets and gown after gown

Like Norsemen who searched for a sack of a town

Through five tons of laundry we followed the sound

A faint little beep coming out of the ground

Under three soaking quilts

Tangled in wire We rescued the gold from the

washtub pyre Digging the linens, having the foam

Bring that blessed bee box back to its home

Before the hot water and the ice sink it down

Best damn recovery crew in the town

Hey, hey, the biomed sips

Saving the clinic from heavy expense gifts

Dry the battery terminal

Slap a fresh strap on it

Found and restored Found

and restored

Oh, oh,
