Song lyrics Sting - Show Some Respect
[00:00.14] Show some respect on this deck for the dear departed
[00:05.99] Gather ye's 'round let's be bound by the work we started
[00:11.06] Save all your strength for the length of the task before us
[00:16.13] Think on that ship on the slipway they can't ignore us
[00:21.18] It's what he would have wanted, he'll not be disappointed
[00:26.13] Each of us well appointed, we've all but been anointed
[00:30.96] Such eas our occupation, this means of our salvation
[00:35.71] We'll make a rope out of our dreams and hopes and tribulations
[00:40.58] We'll weave these strands together, we'll splice a rope and tether
[00:45.44] And though we won't know whether, it's fair or stormy weather
[00:50.37] We'll quit thes quay
[00:51.87] And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea
[00:57.68]
[01:00.21] Pick up your tools, we're not fools to be treated lightly
[01:05.09] We'll weld our souls to the bulkheads
[01:08.03] Secure them tightly
[01:09.82] We'll use the skills and the crafts that our fathers taught us
[01:14.68] We work with pride, not as slaves, no one ever bought us
[01:19.33] We'll weave a net of our dreams and our hopes between us
[01:24.04] We'll be the envy of that sorry bunch who'll wish they'd been us
[01:28.74] We'll form a web of steel, a structure that will not be broken
[01:33.34] We'll be the heroes of the day whenever tales are spoken
[01:38.10] And as the dance gets faster, we'll build a double master
[01:42.79] No vessel will outlast her, no other ship gets past her
[01:47.60] We'll quit this quay
[01:49.26] And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea
[01:54.59]
[01:56.86] Come strike the floor with your feet all you lads and lasses
[02:01.53] And if you're too old to dance, you can raise your glasses
[02:06.15] Just come on in, take a spin, in your dreams ye've held her
[02:10.95] What are ye? Man or mouse? Or a shipyard welder?
[02:15.42] Shy bairns get nowt for waiting, so why ye hesitating?
[02:20.07] Ships don't get built debating, or launched just contemplating
[02:24.69] Wear out your old shoe leather, we are in this dance together
[02:29.20] We'll pull the blades and feather, in fair or clement weather
[02:33.75] Each one of us connected, all trades and skills respected
[02:38.41] Always to be expected, we will not be defleted
[02:43.08] We will quit this quay
[02:44.46] And we will cast this net of souls upon the sea
[02:52.27] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[02:56.68] (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[03:01.14] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[03:05.60] (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[03:10.14] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[03:12.20] (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[03:14.52] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[03:16.74] (Na-na-na-la-na-la-la)
[03:18.94] Na-na-na-la-la-la-la
[03:21.24] (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[03:29.61] Show some repect, fill the deck, ger the lassies twirling
[03:34.86] 'Cause they expect to be swept off their feet and whirling
[03:39.78] Life is a dance, a romance where ye take your chances
[03:44.66] Just don't be left on the shores of regretful glances
[03:49.60] We may no drive Rolls Royces, we are hardky spoilt for choices
[03:54.18] If we are to pay invoices, we will need to raise our voices
[03:58.66] Our strength is in communion, this boilermakers' union
[04:02.99] The shipwright welders' guilds, with every working station filled
[04:07.45] These bonds we have spliced together, will face all kinds of weather
[04:11.92] Considered altogether, and sailing Hell for leather
[04:16.42] We'll quit this quay
[04:17.78] And we will cast this net of souls upon the sea
[04:23.29]
[04:26.88] Where will you be
[04:28.74] When we cast this net of souls upon the sea?
[04:34.17]
