about

This song was originally recorded on Hawthorn's The Murky Brine album.

lyrics

Ship Money
Sea lawyers all, the eternal squall,
of the haul and the share
and the horde and the theft of the money.

The sea has drawn all our respect:
Nothing left but the haul
and the ruck and the maul for the money.

Their ears serpent licked.
Their eyes see the murky brine.

Sea lawyers all, on troubled water pouring oil.
Cut your throat like a goat
for your coat, or a groat’s worth of honey.
The sea has banked us on the shore.
Nothing left of the haul and the squall
and the maul for the money.

Their ears serpent licked.
Their eyes see the murky brine.
