Pirates and Poets is an album by the American singer-songwriter Bertie Higgins, released in 1983.[1][2] The first single was ""When You Fall in Love (Like I Fell in Love with You)".[3]

Critical reception[edit]
The Philadelphia Inquirer called Higgins "just about the most weepy, sentimental, insufferable singer-songwriter in existence," and ironically deemed the album, "in its own way, a demented masterpiece."[4]
