about

This is a newly recorded version of Bottle Of Rum, which originally appeared on my debut solo album Bougainvillea, now recorded in collaboration with Clare Sands, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and fellow ocean enthusiast! Clare plays fiddle, sings backing vocals and arranged the string section on this version. She also suggested dropping the key to suit the lower tones in my voice she felt should be heard! Fellow Hothouse Flower, Martin Brunsden also plays Bertha, his beautiful Double Bass on this!

lyrics

Bottle of Rum

My timbers are straining
Like on old ship at sea,
Will it ever stop raining
Down on me,
My sails are weighed down
And my tiller won't steer,
And only one screaming seagull
For company here.

Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum,
Yo, ho, whats done is done.

The sea comes alive Incarnate in man.
It falls and it rises,
And we do what we can.
To ride on the crest
Of that savage wave,
The ocean's my master,
And I am its slave.

Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum,
Yo, ho, whats done is done.

Are you out there?
Something's breaking on the horizon.
Is it you or just another desert island?
Can I land, can I come into your harbour?
Or must I wait for the oceans to be calmer?
Must I stay eternally at sea?
With only one screaming seagull for company..

Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum,
Yo, ho, whats done is done.
Yo, ho, and a bottle of rum,
Yo, ho, whats done is done.
