Deacon Blue - Dignity lyrics



There痴 a man I meet walks up our street
He痴 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 団ause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He痴 gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity

And I値l sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I値l be on my holidays
They値l be doing their rounds
They値l ask me how I got her I値l say I saved my money
They値l say isn稚 she pretty that ship called dignity

And I知 telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I知 thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And I値l sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I値l be on my holidays
They値l be doing their rounds
They値l ask me how I got her I値l say I saved my money
They値l say isn稚 she pretty that ship called dignity

And I知 thinking about home
And I知 thinking about faith
And I知 thinking about work
And I知 thinking about how good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
That ship
