Dignity - Karine Polwart
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 bogie
He never let's 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 sea
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I'm thinking about home and all that 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 the 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
Stand it up stand it up stand it up
Stand it up stand it up stand it up
Stand it up again stand it up again
Stand it up again
Stand it up stand it up stand it up
Stand it up stand it up stand it up
Stand it up again stand it up again
Stand it up again
And I'm thinking about home
And I'm thinking about work
And I'm thinking how good it would be
And I'm thinking how good it would be
To be here one day
On that ship
On a ship called dignity
On a ship called dignity
On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
