Biography:
With Abney Park's unique darkwave style, one can easily imagine inspiration drawn from fairy tales and nightmares, and recollect a past that never was. Heavy Steampunk inspiration creates style quite unlike anything else.
Abney Park began around 1997, but their popularity exploded with the onset of internet music, with much success through MP3.com in the early 2000’s. The band was a regular chart topper, often holding the number 1 – 5 positions in Goth and Darkwave, and Industrial Dance music charts.

[Verse 1]
N.C.
My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
Em D Em
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck
B A G F#
We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
Em D Em
Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
Em D Em
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre
B A G F#
Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before
Em D Em
No telling just now what we have in store
[Verse 3]
Em D Em
The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors
Em D Em
Running low on the rum and depleting our stores
B A G F#
Can't tell who's on our side and who's ready to flip
Em D Em
When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship
[Verse 4]
Em D Em
With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cut-throats the lot
Em D Em
With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot
B A G F#
We've worked hard on this journey, but there's no land in sight
Em D Em
And before it's all ended there could be a fight
[Verse 5]

My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
