Karaoké 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 thinks to mutter

And he packs his lunch in a sunblest bag the children call him boggie

He never lets on but I know 'cos 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

And 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

Ah set it up, set it up, set it up set it up, set it up, set it up

Yeah

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

Yeah

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 how good it would be to be here some day

On a ship called Dignity a ship called Dignity

That ship
