lirik lagu mekons & robbie fulks - an incident off st. kitt’s
young captain jarrow
sailed his old steam packet through the narrows
haulin’ unknown cargo [?] with [?] and disease
when someone fell and broke their neck
at the after end of the quarterdeck
a lantern dimmed, a bunch of silver keys
gleamed at his feet
if you had to put a number on it
had to pin a face upon it
look no further or just look away
in the popular ill~strations of the day
months after the event oceans away
oceans away, oceans away
down in the engine room
it’s said they marched to a different tune
called black sweat and rumours of foul play
this caused no small sensation
back in the mother nation
reports were filed and locked away
in the popular ill~strations of the day
months after the event oceans away
oceans away, oceans away
a life is framed by a poor decision
friends and family unforgiving
this was captain jarrow’s final trip
while certain facts can’t be denied
swept over the deck from the leeward side
steppers aboard washed up at st. kitt’s
a stiff drink, stiff upper lip
the search called off at george town dock
we drowned our sorrows and dried our socks
in the high heat of midday
some say the crew and captain drowned
the empty ship, it ran aground
months after the event oceans away
a faded photograph inside
his daughter’s diary when she died
from a jazz club in montevideo
seven men raise their glasses
minus beards and moustaches
they look familiar but who’s to say
if you had to put a number on it
had to pin a face upon it
look no further or just look away
in the popular ill~strations of the day
years after the event oceans away
oceans away, oceans away
