Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs for Trafalgar Night
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs for Trafalgar Night
Afraid, 'Poor auld Admiral Nelson is no longer in the air...'
is springing to mind too - even here amidst the arrogance of the
French. Nelson never badmouthed us Irish as much as the Duke....

There's also that other song 'Red is the Colour of the New Republic,
Blue is the Colour of the Sea' cos if Nelson hadn't staved off
mutinies in '97 there would've never been a Trafalgar, I suspect
