Robert Wyatt Lyrics

"Shipbuilding" lyrics


Is it worth it?A new winter coat and shoes for the wifeAnd a bicycle on the boy's birthdayIt's just a rumour that was spread around townBy the women and childrenSoon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask youThe boy said Dad they're going to take me to taskBut I'll back by ChristmasIt's just a rumour that was spread around townSomebody said that someone got filled inFor saying that people get killed inThe result of the shipbuilding

With all the will in the worldDiving for dear lifeWhen we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around townA telegram or a picture postcardWithin weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyardAnd notifying the next of kin once againIt's all we're skilled inWe will be shipbuildingWith all the will in the worldDiving for dear lifeWhen we could be diving for pearls
