Suede - Shipbuilding Lyrics
Shipbuilding was Suede's contribution to the Help album in aid ofWarchild forBosnia. It is a cover of the Elvis Costello classic and not surprisinglyI think it isan improvement on the original; although I am sure Elvis Costello fanswon'tagree with me.Is it worth it, a new winters coat and shoes for the wifeAnd a bicycle on the boys birthdayIt's just a rumour that was spread around townBy the woman and children, soon we'll be shipbuildingWell I ask you, the boy said"Dad there going to take me to task,But I'll be back by Christmas"It's just a rumour that was spread around townSomebody said that someone got filled inFor saying that people get killed in the results of their shipbuildingWith all the will in the world,Diving for dear life, when we could be diving for pearlsIt's just a rumour that was spread around townA telegram or a picture postcardWithin weeks we will be reopening the shipyardAnd notifying the next of kin, once againIt's always killed in,We will be shipbuildingWith all the will in the world,Diving for dear life, when we could be diving for pearls
