The bawdy songs of the costermongers. The dockside shanties. The simple ballads of love and loss. They will be your meat and drink.

Success

Music in all the wrong places

It may not be the perfect execution of theory, but [...] You sing along in the public houses, listen hard at the docks [...] The songs of London come from a score of lands and a dozen centuries. You can make something of all this—something beautiful.

Rare Success

Downsiders

'Downsiders' is an odd little zailor's zong. Song. It's about finding one's shipmates entombed in glass forever, and swearing revenge on the Fiddler's Fluke. Nonsense, obviously, but the tune's something special. You can use this.


Failure

Caught below

"Darling! What on earth are you doing here? This place is a little vulgar for you, isn't it? No, no reason to consider what I'm doing here. [...] You're not... you're not 'working' are you? Dear God, you are! Wait until the Ambassador hears of this!"
