RIP Roy Scheider

Damn shame-Jaws was a fucking good film. It also means that there won’t be another series of “SeaQuest DSV” either (sorry folks1), but I think we can all live with that, can’t we?

In honour of his passing I’d like to print (without their permission) the lyrics from the Gallows song “In the Belly of a Shark”.

So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
So fucking cold and so fucking dark
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
How the fuck did I get this far
Now All I have to do is swim after you
Convince you to climb in to
Cut yourself first
They can smell your blood
From forty miles away
They’ll be here in no time
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
So fucking cold and so fucking dark
So here I lie
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
How the fuck did I get this far
I’m gonna show you
Exactly what you mean to me
I’m gonna eat every man that you see
I’m gonna show you
Exactly what you mean to me
I’m gonna eat every man that you see

On second thoughts, perhaps it not the best eulogy in the world.

Perhaps we could all sing it together, every year, on the anniversary of his passing? I think it's what he would have wanted.

Sorry Roy, I did my best…
