RobbieWilson 'Shiver My Timbers' (Tom Waits) - suicide? (17) shiver my timbers suicide? 08 Jul 10

At Chester Folk festival Roger Wilson said he had suddenly sussedthat one of my favourite Tom Waits songs was about suicide. He reckoned this because of the line "I know Martin Eden would be proud of me", Martin Eden being the title Character in a book by Jack London, who commits suicide.

Does anyone know of anything to back this up or contradict it?
