Dignity

In the style of

Deacon Blue

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 thinks to mutter

and he packs his lunch
in a sunblest bag

the children call him boggie

he never lets on
but i know

'cos 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

and 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

ah
set it up, set it up, set it up

set it up, set it up, set it up
yeah

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

yeah

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
how good it would be
to be here some day

on a ship called dignity
a ship called dignity
that ship
