The song "Green Finned Demon" by Hawkwind depicts a magical underwater world where a submarine magician resides. The magician draws the moon towards him with a wand made of whales' bone and has complete control over the oceans. The lyrics describe the magician's appearance, including his silver scales and green hair, and the fact that he can speak the bubbling language of everything that swims. He knows the secrets of the octopus's limbs and even rides a sea-horse as his steed. The song also references Captain Nemo, who knew the magician in his underwater world. The narrator of the song beckons the "green finned demon" to take them down into this magical world. Overall, the song seems to celebrate the power and majesty of the ocean and the mystical creatures that inhabit it. It suggests that there is a whole world beneath the waves that we can only imagine and that there are secrets and wonders waiting to be discovered.
