'Twas the fourteenth of August Two Thousand and Five The men from the oil rig were feeling alive Two weeks with their families, lovers and friends Approaching the city where their journey ends.

I know I've heard it somewhere - can't think where.

Just googled it.

Apparently it's the Pet Shop Boys "In The North Sea" - it's a rip off of the Village People's "In The Navy" according to wankipedia.

Not so fast mister, it's actually by a little known folk singer from South Manchester, who collaborated with a lyricist somewhere in Lancashire to make this understated bomb of a song.

It's about a tragic event that occurred North of the border almost a year ago. Unfortunately the singer was murdered and never had the chance to release this song.

Sad really.
