Shipyard - Sting (史汀)/Jimmy Nail/Brian Johnson/Jo Lawry[00:00:00]

(feat Jimmy Nail Brian Johnson & Jo Lawry)[00:00:00]

Ah me name is Jackie White and I'm foreman of the yard [00:00:15]

And ye don't mess with Jackie on this quayside [00:00:19]

Why I'm as hard as iron plate woe betide ye if yr late [00:00:22]

When we have to push the boat out on a spring tide [00:00:27]

Now ye could die and hope for Heaven but ye'd need to work your shift [00:00:30]

And I'd expect ye's all to back us to the hilt [00:00:34]

And if St Peter at his gate were to ask ye why yr late [00:00:37]

Why you'd tell him that ye had to get a ship built [00:00:41]

We built battleships and cruisers for Her Majesty the Queen [00:00:45]

Super tankers for Onassis and all the classes in between [00:00:49]

We built the greatest shipping tonnage that the world has ever seen [00:00:52]

And the only life we've known is in the shipyard [00:00:57]

All the platers and the welders and the boiler making crews [00:01:05]

When they see that bugger finished on the slipway [00:01:09]

All the hardship's soon forgot and we'll cheer as like as not [00:01:12]

And the bairns'll wave their Union Jacks all day [00:01:16]

It's a patriotic scene all that's missing is the Queen [00:01:19]

But she said she couldn't make it of a Tuesday [00:01:23]

Then something wells up here inside and you could take it in yr stride [00:01:27]

But you wonder if you'll see another payday [00:01:31]

For there's a mixture of emotions hatred gratitude and pride [00:01:34]

And you hate yourself for crying but it's difficult to hide [00:01:38]

For there's a sadness in the leavin' and ye worry what's ahead [00:01:41]

And that worry never leaves ye keeps on nagging in yr head [00:01:45]

And so ye pray to God for orders but ye'll worry till yr dead [00:01:48]

Until they bury your remains in the blacksmith's shed [00:01:53]

And the only life ye've known is in the shipyard [00:01:58]

Steel in the stockyard [00:02:03]

Iron in the soul [00:02:05]

We'll conjure up a ship where there used to be a hole [00:02:06]

And I don't know what we'll do if this yard gets sold [00:02:11]

For the only life we've known is in the shipyard [00:02:15]

Ah me name is Tommy Thompson I'm shop steward for the Union [00:02:28]

Me dream is proletarian revolution [00:02:31]

Comrades brothers fellow travellers and others [00:02:35]

Class struggle is the means of dialectic evolution [00:02:38]

Das Kapital's me bible and the ruling class are liable [00:02:41]

And quoting Marx and Engels it's entirely justifiable [00:02:45]

If the workers' revolution here is ever to be viable [00:02:48]

And we become the rightful owners of this shipyard [00:02:55]

So it's a one-day stoppage or an overtime ban [00:02:58]

Or a work to rule for the Five Year Plan [00:03:02]

'Til the means of production are safely in our hands [00:03:08]

And we become the rightful owners of this shipyard [00:03:12]

I'm not saying it won't be hard if the boss hands us me cards [00:03:16]

When they try to close us down like other shipyards [00:03:19]

And if industrial action only helps the competition [00:03:22]

As I've heard the bosses bleating from their usual position [00:03:26]

And I stand accused of anarchy disruption and sedition [00:03:29]

Well ye'll never knock us down you reactionary clowns [00:03:36]

When it's time for occupation of the shipyard [00:03:40]

My name is Peggy White [00:03:43]

And I've nursed ye through your injuries and yr cuts and wounds I've bound [00:03:49]

Busted arms and busted heads [00:03:55]

Broken backs and broken legs [00:03:57]

I'd sooner put ye in a splint than have them put ye in the ground [00:04:00]

And the fumes from all the welding where the poison air is hung [00:04:06]

And the toxic radiation that's been blackening your tongue [00:04:09]

I could give you's all an aspirin while you're coughing up your lungs [00:04:12]

But it's all you'll ever get here in this shipyard [00:04:20]

Ah me name is Davy Harrison I like a drink or two [00:04:34]

You could ask me when it started but I haven't got a clue [00:04:37]

I'm never sad or miserable I'm never ever blue [00:04:40]

And I'll still be up tomorrow for the shipyard [00:04:42]

I drink meself into a stupor and I wake up with two heeds [00:04:45]

And then the missus starts complainin' about all me drunken deeds [00:04:50]

Like when I got the train to Sunderland but found meself in Leeds [00:04:55]

And I had to get up early for the shipyard [00:05:01]

I once gave up the drinking was it 1963 [00:05:05]

But it seems as if sobriety was not the thing for me [00:05:09]

It was the worst three hours I ever hope to see [00:05:12]

Steel in the stockyard [00:05:19]

Iron in the soul [00:05:20]

We'll conjure up a ship where there used to be a hole [00:05:21]

And the ship sets sail and the tale gets told [00:05:26]

And the only life I've known is in the shipyard [00:05:31]

Steel in the stockyard [00:05:34]

Iron in the soul [00:05:35]

We'll get the bastard finished and we'll end up on the dole [00:05:36]

And we don't know what we'll do if the yard gets sold [00:05:41]

The only life we've ever known is in the shipyard[00:05:47]
