about

An account of a shipwreck’s restoration immersed in a seascape of found sounds, junk drumkit, saws and marimba

lyrics

Abandoned, discarded,
dismissed and forlorn
You lay there
numb hull penumbral
Lay there numb hull penumbral
There numb hull penumbral.

Robbed of your wealth
Raped by starved stealth
Like so many cheated ships
Are wrecked
So many cheated ships

Tho a few gems remain
They’re shrouded in silt
Embedded with guilt
You shouldn’t have yielded
so easily
Trusted so easily
Trusted
So..

Then one day
Someone bothered to find you
Someone bothered
Fascinated by your wounds
They pledged to unearth you
To redress
your endangered prowess

Hull still dull
But the frame’s being restored
Some days
u even stand gleaming
Fully breathing
In the sunny harboured yard
Your stern bows humble
Fellow humans entamed
By their stirring story to tell
Their stirring story she tells
Stirring stories
Stirring..

Then one day
Someone bothered to find you
Someone bothered
Fascinated by your wounds
They pledged to unearth you
To redress
your endangered prowess.
