Shipbuilding (Elvis Costello & Clive Langer)
Is it worth it
A new winters coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the woman and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said dad there going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in the results of their shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks we will be reopening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin, once again
It's always killed in, we will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
