Jacobs Ladder — текст песни (Chumbawamba)

Jacobs ladder
Like rusty old nails, at the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales, for the good of the Admiralty
You jump when youжЉ®e told to, through the open door
And the King of Norway, heжЉЇ the man you all died for
(Chorus)
On this, JacobжЉЇ Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
JacobжЉЇ Ladder

"And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain"

A thousand lifetimes, left standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall, theyжЉ®e sure the boat wonжЉ° rock
In a file marked ж…Ўecret in a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders, because nobody knows
(Chorus)
About this, JacobжЉЇ Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
JacobжЉЇ Ladder

"And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain"
(Chorus)
On this
JacobжЉЇ Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
JacobжЉЇ Ladder

O Bulldog Leader:
Sooner or later
WeжЉЈl dig up the body
And try your cadaver
