about
Tapping The Admiral
Shot through the spine in his moment of victory, Admiral Nelson's body was pickled in rum for return to London. Before the barrel made it home the rum had been drained. Punk riffs, Sea Shanty Licks, sea gull FX and a crew of drunken sailors shouting "RUM!" this track has everything! Recorded at Incubator Studios with thanks to the Triple R Performer Subscriber Prize
lyrics
I manned a birth on Admiral Nelson's Ship
Till some bastard shot him through the spine
Well there ain't no Flowers and there ain't no dirt
And the sea is a lonely place for dying
Seal his body in the barrel and we fill it up with rum
Home to King and country we will come
So that mighty man was pickled in the finest French Brandy
And we turned our backs to the sea
It's a long voyage home when your Admirals been killed
And in the night that barrel was drilled
Seal his body in the barrel and we fill it up with rum
Home to King and country we will come
So we drank to his victory and we drank to his death and we drank to our king who reigns
And we drank till that barrel had no rum left now the Admiral is flowing through my veins
Seal his body in the barrel and we fill it up with rum
Home to King and country we will come
