| Show Of Hands – The Napoli Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
the Napoli was a ship damaged by a storm that was grounded near Branscombe in Devon in 2007 . folks from various parts of the county descended on Branscombe for the (illegal undeclared ) spoils - from crates with everything from nappies to motorbikes - it made the national news and the whole village was cordoned off by the police. this is a modern day counterpart of the behaviour in the show of hands song "tall ships" with the idea that boats used to be lured into becoming wreaks so that locals could profit from the spoils . Steve Knightly likes writing songs about the villains and this song suggests we all have the villain part of us close to the surface when opportunity presents. |
