No comments? Wow. What an amazing song. Beautiful both in lyrics, voice and composition.

Quite a confusing song, I think he is reminiscing about the beauty of fishing life, but how in reality is was very tough for people. Especially people who through family careers, fishing was the only option.

'Of shattered boyhood dreams'

He is thankful that he doesn't have to do it. Life is not amazing for him, but at least he isn't on the choppy seas.

I think life has got shitty for so many that maybe they would rather be fishing again.

What a mess the UK is in...
