The Song is 'Shiver Me Timbers' by Tom Waits, from the album 'The Heart of Saturday Night'. It itself borrows Martin Eden from Jack London's novel of the same name where the protaganist, a struggling writer, feels that the manuscripts he sends to publishers are returned to him by a machine without ever having been seen by human eyes. A feeling I've often identified with. Captain Ahab ain't got nothing on me. Oh and its about sailing away, running away being one of my favorite subjects for a song!
