Famous lyrics by »
Simpson was for some years in the Navy during war. That is why he uses many sea and sailing analogies. This song is through the eyes of "Sailors of yore," comparing their frequent demise to the shit now going on in the world. Watership down. In sailing ships the sails are cut so the sailors will not get caught under them and drown. The flag is raised because it will be the last thing seen of the ship. And, when the line is tied to the "Fog-whistle," it stays on. These lyrics are pure genius.
