With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early
Tragic and informative...

Brilliant lyricist. I still play that first album a great deal.Loved his early lyrics.
The lyrics to ‘Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts’ and ‘A Certain Romance’, critiquing what’s wrong with working class dickheads, are spot on.

A song that leaves me in tears because I'm sure if I lived in one of these costal villages I would have signed up.
The Solomon Browne - Seth Lakeman
Never had a lifeboat fought in vain
she could have made a dash for port but she tried again
all 16 perished in that mighty wave
it tossed them overboard into a watery grave
Now back in Penlee Point time stood still
12 young children cried for their fathers killed
A nation shed tears for years as the news went round
the constant courage of the Solomon Browne
A true event

What a groove. Mad keyboard solo (the result of plugging the wrong lead into the wrong socket) biblical references lending gravitas to what actually is just a song about visiting Holland and the edgy fans they found there.
