Greetings all! I don't like being self indulgent so I'll keep all this business brief. Lieutenant Loki is made up of me, my alter ego and our imaginary friend. We live in a world of dark forests, old sheds and sunny, verdant English hill-tops.

Story behind the song
The guitar line sounded like the sea so that was that.
Lyrics
Good Lord be praised a windy day! An' old Andy Miller is sailin' away Come Jenny and Gerogie, Sally and Faye I'd lead you to France and leads you astray Come winners and losers and lovers today I'm a rum-runnin' now in the Bay of Biscay Come with me daredevils I'll show you the way For we are all going a-smugglin' today. The wind will take me, when it don't break me The wind will take me, when it don't break me Your Daddy's away son, he'll never know, no, know your away son... I see him in the window I see him everyday I see him in the window I see him in the waves (N.B Andy Miller is 19th Century slang for the Royal Navy. Mr Miller was a well known and somewhat over zealous press-gang officer.
