Songs is an album by Spiers and Boden. It consists of traditional British folk songs and sea shanties, apart from Innocent When you Dream which was written by Tom Waits for the soundtrack to the film "Franks Wild Years". It was released less than six months after their previous album Tunes. Four of these songs concern murder, which gives a dark tone to the album. It was recorded and released in October 2005.

Personnel


gollark: As in, Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or another queen?
gollark: "Fortunately" such high-energy drives would also be very visible when running, so we'd have plenty of time to prepare and be unable to do anything.
gollark: And if they wanted to kill off humans it would be trivial, as anything capable of accelerating a fairly large ship to significant fractions of lightspeed can do the same to a kinetic impactor of some sort.
gollark: Interstellar travel is, as far as anyone can tell, ridiculously expensive. So it would not be worth going several light-years (probably more) just to attain Earth's, I don't know, rare earth metal stocks, when you can just mine asteroid belts or do starlifting.
gollark: I imagine you could probably harvest them from twitter automatically quite easily.
