Jacob`s Ladder — текст песни (Chumbawamba)

Jacob`s ladder
Like rusty old nails
At the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales
For the good of the Admiralty
You jump when you`re told to
Through the open door
And the King of Norway
He`s the man you all died for
On this Jacob`s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob`s Ladder
And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain
(Repeats)
A thousand lifetimes
Left standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall
They`re sure the boat won`t rock
In a file marked `Secret`
In a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders
Because nobody knows
About this Jacob`s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob`s Ladder
And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain
(Repeats)
On this Jacob`s Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
(Repeats)
Jacob`s Ladder
(Repeats)
O Bulldog Leader, sooner or later we`ll dig up the body and try your cadaver (repeats)
