I first heard this song on the radio of a taxi a little while ago on my way to work (I was running late LOL), and I think I remember the DJ saying it was based on an old Scottish fishermen's folksong. Not surprising, considering the line "and the cruel nets had emptied the Northern Sea". I believe it's just about a man who falls in love with a woman he cares for during her time away from home. No matter what it's about, I think it's the Darkness's most touching and beautiful songs to date.
