The First Picture of You 歌詞

Dignity - Deacon Blue

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 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

 

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
