Inspired by John Franklin' expedition to find the Northwest Passage in 1845. The ship got frozen in the arctic ice and the crew tried to walk across the ice to safety - but because they were a) half-mad from hunger and lead poisoning, and b) British, they ended up trying to carry everything valuable they could salvage from the ship. Tables, chairs, bibles, silverware... The only thing they DIDN'T have was boots and coats. Everybody died. Some of them ate each other.
One of the greatest songs ever written, have this on 12 inch, amazing song.
