| [00:46.30] |
Billy was born within sight of the shipyard |
| [00:51.96] |
First son of a riveter's son |
| [00:58.54] |
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow |
| [01:04.45] |
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun |
| [01:17.89] |
And six days a week he would watch his poor father |
| [01:23.36] |
A working man live like a slave |
| [01:29.67] |
He'd drink every night, and he'd dream of a future |
| [01:36.33] |
Of money he never would save |
| [01:42.62] |
Billy would cry when he thought of the future |
| [01:50.58] |
Soon came a day when the bottle was broken |
| [01:56.16] |
They launched the great ship out to sea |
| [02:02.38] |
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore |
| [02:08.01] |
To a future he desperately wanted to flee |
| [02:15.39] |
What else was there for a ship-builder's son |
| [02:20.77] |
A new ship to be built, new work to be done |
| [02:27.26] |
One day he dreamed of the ship in the world |
| [02:36.23] |
It would carry his father and he |
| [02:42.04] |
To a place they would never be found |
| [02:48.70] |
To a place far away from this town |
| [02:54.55] |
|
| [03:17.65] |
Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship |
| [03:23.15] |
All the workmen suspended like flies |
| [03:30.03] |
Caught in the flare of acetylene light |
| [03:35.69] |
A working man works till the industry dies |
| [03:42.38] |
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future |
| [03:50.24] |
Then what they call an industrial accident |
| [03:57.07] |
Crushed those it couldn't forgive |
| [04:02.83] |
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance |
| [04:09.65] |
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live |
| [04:15.79] |
What else was there for a riveter's son |
| [04:21.01] |
A new ship to be built, new work to be done |
| [04:27.08] |
That night he dreamed of the ship in the world |
| [04:36.78] |
It would carry his father and he |
| [04:42.55] |
To a place they could never be found |
| [04:48.71] |
To a place far away from this town |
| [04:55.64] |
A Newcastle ship with no coals |
| [05:01.95] |
They would sail to the island of souls |
| [05:08.97] |
|
