Song title: Deacon Blue - Dignity

Edit By: 216.73.216.5

Theres a man I meet walks up our street
Hes 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
Hes gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity
And Ill sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
Ill be on my holidays
Theyll be doing their rounds
Theyll ask me how I got her Ill say I saved my money
Theyll say isnt she pretty that ship called dignity
And Im telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And Im thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And Ill sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
Ill be on my holidays
Theyll be doing their rounds
Theyll ask me how I got her Ill say I saved my money
Theyll say isnt she pretty that ship called dignity
And Im thinking about home
And Im thinking about faith
And Im thinking about work
And Im thinking about how good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
That ship
