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 seems 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

yeh 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

yeh 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 about how good it would be

to be here some day

on a ship called dignity

a ship called dignity

that ship
