Lyrics

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
 ♪
 I'll 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
