Run Like Smoke N'Oakum

Oakum
n : loose hemp or jute fiber obtained by unravelling old ropes; when impregnated with tar it was used to caulk seams and pack joints in wooden ships
(these seems are called The Devil...the origins of the term "the devil's to pay")

It obviously means to take flight quickly, though I do not know the full history of the term...
"We shall run like Smoke N'Oakum" Captain Jack Aubrey in Master And Commander: Far side Of The World. (attributed to the 6th book of the series Desolation Island)

oasis

One of the best bands to come out ince the beatles (which is the best band ever) They released legendary songs on their 1995 album "(whats the story morning glory?" They were Wonderall, Champagne Supernova, and Dont look back in anger. Unfortunatly, those songs are all they ever were really popular for. People need to know that every cd theyve made is incredible and they have great stuff besides those 3 songs (not that they are bad) CHECK THEM OUT IF U LIKE SOME GOOD OLD RUCK AND RULL
