Robert Wyatt – Shipbuilding
Lyrics Shipbuilding – Robert Wyatt
Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy’s birthday.
It’s just a rumor that was spread around town
By the women and children, soon we’ll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said ‘Dad, they’re going to take me to task
But I’ll be home by Christmas.
It’s just a rumor 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 rumor that was spread around town
A telegram for a picture postcard
Within weeks they’ll be reopening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin
Once again.
It’s all we’re skilled in
We will be shipbuilding.
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.
