Vertigo Smyth - The Armada Song (Spanish Galleons)

Ireland’s Vertigo Smyth has an authentic voice and distributes it across wonderous lyrics. In his own words, this song is “about thinking back on all the times you think your world if going to end…and then the threat passes and life goes on and you take things for granted all over again!” Amen to that, brother.

Vertigo is currently in the country, “writing songs about magpies which may make it onto an EP in the winter.” You can get this track below by adding yourself to his mailing list.

Lyrics:

They say that the world has only got more horror in store
Much worse than anything we’ve ever seen before
But there wouldn’t be any cats in the Coliseum
Unless there were people still around to feed ‘em

And all the while Spanish galleons are rusting beneath the sea

That whole Armada thing was not such a good idea
Lost to a man somewhere off Cape Clear
And Lizzie was as happy as she could be
Everyone struggled on in misery

And all the while Spanish galleons are rusting beneah the sea
