‘Looking At Me Now’ an original song by Greg Harper, was written as a tribute to the RNLI.
As they celebrate their 200th anniversary in 2024 we would like to dedicate the song to all their crews, staff, volunteers and fundraisers. Thank you all.

LOOKING AT ME NOW
She’s a Tamar class, finest ever made
There she falls my friend, down the old slipway
That was me once, standing on the bow
You wouldn’t think it of me
Looking at me now
She’s a Tamar class, built for speed
Two C18, diesel marine
That was me once, working on the prow
You wouldn’t think it of me
Looking at me now
This old blazer, like me, is wearing thin
Can’t stop my hoary hands, trembling
But I’ll fix your gaze, and trade an old man’s grin
If you please my friend, put some money in
She’s a Tamar class, slipping out of view
Just like the younger man, I once knew
That was me once, hard to picture somehow
You wouldn’t think it of me
Looking at me now
You wouldn’t think it of me
Looking at me now
