this is a sequel to the song "Saskatchewan" referring to the ship the Caroline. It is another in a series of songs based around Martin's obsession with the sea and ships. Which is odd for a guy born in Etiboke, Ontario.
This is a long with a lot of Martin's trademark weird imagery, and the imagery is so amazingly reproduced in the music, you can can hear Dave Clarke making his drumkit sound like a creaking wooden deck or Martin making his guitar sound like a lightning strike. I always hoped Martin would have made some paintings about this song, I can see them in my head if I close my eyes. "Gadunger burped the sea" is one of the strangest lines ever written. "Chicken Jimmy" refers to stories of sailors reportedly sacrificing themselves to save a crew. oh well, enough from me. goodo martin.
