Shipbuilding Lyrics - Different Every Time - Robert Wyatt

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 home by Christmas" 

 

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 results of their 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 for a picture postcard 

Within weeks 

They'll be reopening the shipyard 

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
