U-534

U-534

 

the red light flicker, sonar weak

air valves hissing open

half her pressure blown away

flounder in the ocean

see the Winter Boys -

drinking heavy water from a stone

 

bye-bye Empire, Empire bye-bye

shallow water - channel and tide

bye-bye Empire, Empire bye-bye

tired illusions drown in the night

 

and I can trace my history

down one generations to my home

in one of our submarines

 

one of our submarines is missing tonight

seems she ran aground on manoeuvres

one of our submarines

 

Thomas Dolby - Wireless - "one of our submarines".

Crackingly good album... so glad I dug it out. :-)
