''As those fingernails scratching on my hull'' I still get shivers from that lyric.

@OhEmGeeLoire sorry buddy but this song is based on the unsuccessful Canadian raid on Dieppe on the second world war.

@flyyspit I agree and am very happy I heard the song before I saw the video.Gord's descriptions had my images in my head a lot worse than the video.

@Doughfoot After the Bismarck was finally sunk a British ship approached the survivors, some of which clung to a single lifeboat. The British navy men cast out a line for the survivors to climb up but after several unsuccessful attempts at climbing over the slippery hull the British ship made the (oft criticized) move to leave the German survivors behind, and chugged away while (reportedly) the Germans cried out and were trying to grab onto the hull (hence the fingers scratching my hull line).
"Then the dream ends, when the phone rings" is the single most powerful lyric in music. So much meaning that everyone can relate to, not some bullshit about owning a fast car or whatever music is about now-adays. But the bottom line is, I while listen to this song 5,6,7 times in a row just to hear that one verse.
