lyrics

On April 14 1912, the bridge heard the crow’s nest lookout bell
1st Officer Murdoch said “What did you see”, “Iceberg straight ahead”, said Seaman Fleet
They rang hard to starboard, they rang full astern, but at 21 knots there was no room to turn
Too late the warnings all ignored, for 1500 left on board

RIFF

The rich and the titled left in boats, hats and diamonds and ermine coats
While down below the steerage class found gates and hatches locked fast
With a roar like thunder she broke in two, and on a cold starry night was lost from view
She spilled her contents in the deep far and wide, and down with her went the class divide

Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down
Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down

RIFF

China doll, silver spoon, they’ve all got a value in the auction room
An 1814 bottle of Krug, just the sort of drink for the party mood
A broken light from the fallen foremast, chamber pots and leaded glass
A pair of ladies high-backed shoes, silver trays and brass spittoons

Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down
Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down

RIFF

A 3rd class coffee cup with design, of the once-proud flag of the White Star line
While down below in the icy cold, the search goes on for the Guggenheim gold

Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down
Plunder Town, Plunder Town
Lying on the bottom over two miles down
