elvis costello the attractions – shipbuilding lyrics
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 back by christmasâ€
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 result of this 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 or a picture postcard
within weeks they’ll be re-opening the shipyards
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
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
when we could be diving for pearls
when we could be diving for pearls
