about

'Let's set sail under a pirate flag' is the message in this track that is a firm crowd favourite from Hussy Hicks live sets and echo's a sentiment of political skepticism that resonates the world over in these turbulent times.
This latest single along with 'Whole Lotta' (2016 Amrap top 5) are both being added as bonus tracks to a limited edition vinyl pressing of their 2016 release 'Lucky Joe's Wine and other tales from Dog River' to be made available mid 2017.

After the band tracks were recorded live in beautiful Byron Bay, the tune navigated its way to London where it was mixed by long term collaborator A Friend O Mine and Mastered at Abbey Rd Studios.

Featuring the core HH team, Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz along with rhythm section Tracy Stephens and Rohan Hems the track is true to the Hussy Hicks live sound and will be music to the ears of their regular fans who have been crying out for this track to be recorded.

lyrics

It's disconcerting that we're not learning a thing
As history plays out there's nothing about it changing
But history books are written by crooks with agendas we cannot conceive
Liars and thieves will make you believe
Things that you shouldn't believe

Let's leave today go on and pack your bags
Let's set sail under a pirate flag
Cause you are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come
You are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come

All of the treasures are buried with pleasures so deep
The highest of bidders makes winners of sinners til we can no longer compete
A hand full of aces smirks on their faces
Flying the flag of the free
You sit at the table willing and able but you can no longer believe

Let's leave today go on and pack your bags
Let's set sail under a pirate flag
Cause you are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come
You are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come
You’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting
You’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting


So let's leave today go on and pack your bags
Let's set sail under a pirate flag
