Hartley's Titanic band spent their last minutes playing Nearer, My God, To Thee. Most of the British lucky enough to get a lifeboat seat queued for it
lyrics
Your girl is right beside you / You feel like number one / So get your body moving / Tonight has just begun / Make it last forever / Dancing with the gang / You've got your favourite record / And Frankie's got his band / Queuing up for lifeboats / As the stern goes down / Share cigars with strangers / Cling on to the bow / Visions of the future / Panic on the land / Debris in the ice floes / Scratches in the sand / Atmosphere / I love a party with / A happy atmosphere / And you and I'll be dancing
