Mrs Hart's Premonition

from Shameless Winter by Daisy Chapman

/

lyrics

Daniel Buckley donned a shawl and a grin
Charles survived thanks to the whisky and gin
Edwardian splendour by Louis XV
Oh naivety.
 
20 sinkings in as many months
Birth of a dream yard number 401
Driving rivets, impairing hearing
Oh loss of life
Seventeen.
 
Light the boiler boys!
 
Full speed ahead, full throttle
New life in the new world
"See you in New York!"
But 5,000 years ago an icicle broke free
A collision course
Destiny.
 
What use is opulence when shrouded by steel?
What use are diamonds when they're two miles beneath?
Mrs Hart had always said
Midnight stealth dead ahead.
 
Call the captain boys!
 
It's too late for salvation
If we stick together we've a fighting chance
Let Hartley and his men serenade me
Nearer My God To Thee.
 
Light the boiler boys!
Call the captain boys!
CQD boys!
Launch the lifeboats!
Row! Row!
You can't conquer nature
Call the Carpathia!
