I think JB intends to make the sentiment in "wooden ships" seem worthy but idealistic. The song starts off "Everybody is ready to leave" and goes on to say "with a few of my friends / maybe find something better", and finishes with "long ago I heard someone say something about Everyman"
Almost as if it's a great notion to pack up and sail off but as the song progesses it becomes an unlikely ideal and then merely a dream that would never work as it would require everyman to make it happen.
A wonderful song (one of many by JB) by an artist of extraordinary talent.

@jimmyjammy There's nothing idealistic about Wooden Ships, its not about choice, its a sci-fi fantasy about surviving in an unavoidable situation.
