This is the legend of eight sisters |
| [00:12.46] |
Herald was the famous one |
| [00:16.17] |
It happened twenty years ago |
| [00:19.58] |
although the sea was calm |
| [00:23.08] |
It was 1987 |
| [00:26.71] |
and winter nearly gone |
| [00:29.85] |
On that Friday running late |
| [00:33.04] |
with rolling off and rolling on |
| [00:39.49] |
Trucks and cars were sleeping |
| [00:42.11] |
door by door and side by side |
| [00:45.80] |
Someone had to close the back door |
| [00:49.22] |
That day it must have slipped his mind |
| [00:52.81] |
He was fast asleep in his cabin |
| [00:56.29] |
tired from cleaning out the hall |
| [00:59.67] |
While passengers were eating |
| [01:03.01] |
indulging duty-free-for-all |
| [01:09.35] |

Herald of Free Enterprise |
| [01:30.63] |
In just ninety seconds |
| [01:33.14] |
right down to the wire |
| [01:38.05] |
Sailing with the doors wide open |
| [01:41.85] |
so the waves kept pouring in |
| [01:45.33] |
As they passed the Outer Mole |
| [01:48.60] |
the disaster could begin |
| [01:51.94] |
An a hundred yards from the shore |
| [01:55.78] |
right outside a Belgian port |
| [01:59.15] |
The lights went out |
| [02:01.37] |
the ship turned around and fell to starboard |
| [02:07.87] |
Then nothing but silence |
| [02:12.46] |
silence and the cold |
| [02:15.59] |
Herald and her sisters |
| [02:18.98] |
just never fit the mold |
| [02:24.95] |

In just ninety seconds |
| [02:48.46] |
right down to the wire |
| [02:53.58] |
Two months later she was refloated |
| [02:57.09] |
a final one-way trip exchange |
| [03:00.54] |
Pensioned off into the Third World |
| [03:04.07] |
Where they named her Flushing Range |
| [03:08.01] |
And in '88 she broke in two |
| [03:11.56] |
probably because of guilt |
| [03:14.80] |
Pride and Spirit changed their names |
| [03:18.38] |
They were all doomed since they were built |
| [03:24.27] |

This is the legend of eight sisters |

Herald was the famous one |
| [04:31.47] |
It happened twenty years ago |
| [04:35.04] |
although the sea was calm |
| [04:39.00] |
I was just a boy then |
| [04:42.56] |
holding daddy's hand |
| [04:45.95] |
Watching on tv |
| [04:48.52] |
how Herald's time came to an end |
