Story Behind the Song
Matilda. Andreas Köpke asked us to write a song for his boat Mildred after a memorable day on the Baltic in said vessel. Woody knocked out the chorus riff, and the rest was written on wing, prayer and lewd metaphor. The fact that we drunkenly renamed the boat Matilda was due to the gallons of ale we had stowed on board.

Lyrics
Chorus:
When her stove is boiling fast its then I go down below,
The pearl of all the oyster fleet is my Matilda-o;
She rocks me oh so tenderly in her cabin where I lie,
Its heaven when I take her with her sail hoisted high.
I meet her at the haven
Where the birds are loud and fast,
She beckons me so sweetly with
A nodding of her mast;
And with her gentle creaking
Oh you'd think she was asleep,
But she tilts her frame to greet me
As I board her with a leap.
The journey that she takes me on
From harbour down to sea,
Is one I ll never weary of
While life is left in me;
We ve sailed for pleasure, we ve raced for fun,
We ve cast our lines together,
We ve glowed like gods in summer sun
And shivered in icy weather.
Shes been around a hundred years,
She ll sail a hundred more,
She s seen the rise and fall of men
In times of peace and war;
For Matilda is the Baltic queen
Who lures me from the land,
To feel her swaying, mature embrace,
Her tiller in my hand.
