Dignity — текст песни (Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross)





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

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
