Subject: Lyr Req: 'The Slow Destruction of the Simbo II'
Speaking of sea songs that won't leave me be even though I can't remember the words:
The chorus runs,
"Ride, ride, ride the wild ocean,
Sail, sail, sail the cold sea;
You take a chance when you take to the ocean;
You pay your dues most dutifully."
And the song is about a modern fishing boat that was thrashed to death on some rocks while the crew helplessly watched.
