Queen Anne's Revenge (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Anne's Revenge is a song by punk rock band Flogging Molly, appearing on their third studio album, Within a Mile of Home. It takes its name from the Queen Anne's Revenge, an English/French frigate that was famously taken over by Captain Blackbeard. It is the second track in which the band's bassist, Nathen Maxwell, lends his gruff voice to lead vocals. Like the first song, Cruel Mistress (from the album Drunken Lullabies) and indeed many of the band's songs, Queen Anne's Revenge features a nautical theme. The song was also written by Nathen Maxwell.
The song tells of a pirate ship full of invisible deadly demons. Misery is a common theme; besides the demons, shipwreck and the flu receive mention. The tone is dark and full of despair, not unlike Cruel Mistress. It was generally well-received by fans.
