lyrics

Just North of Hull the shoal ran straight into a drift net.
Chaos and panic ensued.
Instinctively and unlike the rest of the shoal, he shot upwards, through them, racing for the surface.
The water full of thrashing, screaming, dying fish.
And then The surface of the water parted as Stanley burst through it,
He landed just outside the net as it closed in on his shoal.

Stanley fled North again, away from the carnage.
Only 50 fish escaped the net and Stanley led them, quickly and cautiously further out to sea.

When Stanley eventually turned West for the Tay Estuary, only 15 fish followed him, the rest continued North.
Together the 15 fish and Stanley looked and tasted for the freshwater channel that would lead them upriver.
But the water was foul and poisoned.
Debris, rubbish of all kinds, hung suspended in the water.
