Lyrics
There's a man I meet walks up our street He's a worker for the council Has been twenty years And he takes no lip off nobody And litter off the gutter Puts it in a bag And never seems to mutter And he packs his lunch in a "sunblest" bag The children call him "bogie" He never lets on But I know 'cause he once told me He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty He's gonna buy a dinghy Gonna call her dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast Through villages and towns I'll be on my holidays They'll be doing their rounds They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "i saved my money" They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
And I'm telling this story In a faraway scene Sipping down raki And reading maynard keynes And I'm thinking about home and all that means And a place in the winter for dignity And I'll sail her up the west coast Through villages and towns I'll be on my holidays They'll be doing their rounds They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "i saved my money" They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity
Set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up Yeh set it up again, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again Set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up Yeh set it up again, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again And I'm thinking about home And I'm thinking about faith And I'm thinking about work And I'm thinking about how good it would be To be here some day
On a ship called dignity A ship called dignity That ship
